Carbon six

[Hunt West]

Has anyone gave the carbon six barrels a run yet? I'm looking at a rebarrel in a 30 cal (haven't decided cartridge yet) and considering these.

you've already decided on caliber hence the 30 cal barrel!!!!
you mean cartridge !!

 

[Hunt West]

Ha! Yeah fair enough 30 caliber haven't decided on cartridge. Edited original to fix that

I believe they are McGowen blanks and they wrap them.

I have one they chambered for me in 308 win. I don't know about their blanks. I ordered a 1-10 and when I punch the tight patch it seems more like 1-10.25 or so. So if you are looking to load heavy or long monos, something to think about. Load development took longer than most rifles.

As it is carbon, I can only get about three shots before it starts to walk. Let it cool and it settles down.

Have a Proof getting spun up now so then will have a Christensen, Carbon Six and Proof. The Christensen will put the cold bore and the follow up shot within the group. After about three shots it opens up a bit too, until it cools.

to be fair, I did shoot this group from a 140gr ELDX zero.

 

[FURMAN]

They shoot as well as any barrel I have shot. This was at 1k in absolutely horrible conditions, snowing and blowing. This was a 338 Terminator with 300 grain Berger OTMs.

If is doesn't do that in the center of the bull it's not a group...

@Holycity73 ,

How is your cold/clean, cold/dirty shots compared to the follow up...

Anyone else?

The first two are the ones I really care about in a hunting rifle.

After zero, first shot is less than 1/4" from follow ups. Impact shift low and right.
