[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 2207115, member: 307"] I used a LW, Savage pre-fit, 6.5-284Norma in the past and it was a very slick barrel. Not much fouling at all and it was at least 1/2 MOA with everything I shot in it. I purchased a Shilen Savage pre-fit from Northland Shooters Supply and it is great! Makes me feel like a pro! James Kessler is a great guy to deal with also. Last, but not least, I got a Pac-Nor (yes, Savage pre-fit) right before their big fire in Oct 2019. 28", 8T stainless super match in .300WinMag and it stacks the 215gn Bergers, 212gn & 225gn Hornady's on top of each other. Super nice, accurate barrel. After installing, I ran a unithroater (Ryan Mantha) reamer in it and increased the throat and OAL for the 212gn Berger runs 3.7"+. Simply phenomenal shooter. The 212/215's run 3050-3070fps and the one load I tried with the 225's was 2965fps. This is with RL26. [/QUOTE]
