[QUOTE="bamban, post: 2839346, member: 17722"] I got invited to shoot steel plates up to 1200 yards this Friday and Saturday. For laughs and giggles, I decided to unscrew the 26 inch fluted barrel and swap it with the 18 inch 10T Proof CF, and run it suppressed with AAC Titan QD. In retrospect I should have opted for a 9T or 8T so I can run heavy monos. The 215s will have to do. Still have enough FGGM 190s to burn up this barrel, twist choice is not all futile. The barrel is short, I could not chuck it in the headstock between spiders on either the 1440, nor the 1236, so the little green machine got the nod. The JET lathe is only 1024, belt drive, but very capable. The JET HS is so short that I can run the 18 inch barrel between spiders and not touch the carbon fiber. I can chamber and thread the muzzle easily. Muzzle thread would be 3/4-24. This 18th Proof barrel would be the 5th barrel on this action. The previous ones; original 7RM Sendero, 7 STW, Schneider M40 300WM, and the Wilson fluted 300WM. We shall see how it works out. AAC cautioned me about running an 18 inch 300WM with the Titan QD. I think for limited rounds per time period, it should be fine. Not running rattle battle pace here.
