[QUOTE="MAD10, post: 2181305, member: 29370"] I believe some may find this useful... just to see what I'll get from my 20" CF when it comes in - I had my guy cut my current 7mm 08 barrel to 20" I ripped off Accuracy Int' and had wrench flats cut into it as well and pinned the recoil lug...all I need is a crescent wrench to pull the barrel or to install simply hand tight to the shoulder then barely snug it up with the wrench! I could get fancy and use an inch lb torque wrench but it doesn't seem necessary and head space on a fired case only changed by + 1 thou over 10 shots and no adj. to current load w/162 ELDMs 26" = 2738 fps / ES 6 20" = 2640 fps / ES 8 still keeps at the numbers I want at a 1000 yards* RemV 1708 fps RemE 1100 ft lb * I hunt between 7 & 12,000 ft here in Colorado [/QUOTE]
