20 inch 300 PRC

[tgridley]

After barrel break in I settled on 83.6 grains of H 1000, 185 grain Berger VLD Hunter, 3.625 COAL
Average velocity 3020 fps, ES 8, SD 3
New Lapua brass, AB Raptor Suppressor.
3 shots .092 group
Huskemaw 5x30 tactical scope
The suppressor looks long but it goes over the barrel 6 inches before it starts threading.
Bartlein Barrel
Terminus Action
Timney Hit Trigger set at 8oz
AG composite stock

Great build
Would love to see a report on the last few inches of your carbon barrel with repeated very high heat exposure. Something to watch

Will be something to watch, so far I really like the can. It is quieter than any of my other 6 cans.

Agree - not sure how you shoot but most carbon barrels rarely get above 250 degrees. Most Ti cans get regularly get above 500 degree and sometimes higher to nearly 800...not knowing what resin temp they spec for that barrel (some are around 400) could be a delam issue if you run it hard repeatedly.

I don't run them hard and usually 1 minute between shots. Also the can doesn't get very hot back there. Plenty hot up front.
