Drooling

Bummer how does it look on day 2?

Couple years ago I asked the same question. Found some links I don't know where it is now but most people recommended to flute match grade barrels. Fluting a factory barrel could cause your barrel to shoot worse. Just what I've been told. Lances gun saved him slightly over 1/2 a pound. So if you did that, put on a lighter scope, and maybe flute the bolt you might be 3/4 of a pound weight saved. But if you have a 10 pound gun and you drop it down to 9 pounds it will make those hike feel just slightly better.

Congrats well done

I don't know why people exclude energy. Why not have both! As sjvcon said, and lets say a bullet is a 30 cal. Accubond 180 grain shooting out of a 308 and take the exact same bullet and put it into a 300 RUM. Same bullet, same perfomace, but one is going so much faster. Lets say that Nosler has a guaranteed that the 30 cal Accubond will expand to 1/2" when impact occurs. Wouldn't the bullet with more speed cause more damage because of energy? AKA speed= energy. I mean this makes a lot of since to me unless this is totally wrong??? There is a reason why an apple only cracks open with a 22 and explodes with 22-250

What did ordered a threaded barrel? What did you use to take off your old action and installed the new barrel with?

270 tikka with scope and bipod 8ish. I do not have a problem with it out to 600 yards. Farther I really need to be steady with the light gun 300 win mag Remington Long Range heavy barrel 26" with everything on it 12#. I haven't taken it out hunting yet. Short half day hike only Weathyby 6.5 creedmoor 9# 24" barrel

Lots of couse on lot all sorts of hills. Just pick a spot and glass, you will find them

I have had 2 hot loads that shoot sub MOA. But I got a few response from members from other threads that shooting off of sleds will cause your rifle to shoot differently. I never had heard of that. Its either they are right and stay away or it doesn't really change much. I don't know. If it doesn't change much Im going to keep doing it until I get the load I want. I want to see how much better I can do with those 2 sub MOA loads using the sled. Once I have that Ill start practicing. Unless from the shooters world they say don't touch the sled because it is really not good to build a load off of it I'll change my process.

Cool

Great write up thats awesome! Next year for me

I see your point and it makes complete since, but my goal at the time was one not to beat up my shoulder while shooting 30 hot loads of 300 win mags, and 2 I wanted to truly see if the rifle shoots good groupings without human error on my part, and I almost 100% perfectly still while I let the rifle surprise me on the shot from a sled. Then after I choose my load I want Ill practice. But right now I'm chasing a load I want. But I've seen a lot of your load developments and your pulling 1/2 groupings off a bipod and a rear sand bag. Thats awesome. I just don't think im there yet. My concern was that I might have a perfect load and Im screwing up the groupings and blaming it on the load instead of myself. If I find a perfect load and then practice and start seeing it spread apart then I know for a fact its me. Unless shooting off a sled, or a stand of some sort truly will cause it to shoot differently Ill shoot it from the bipod and bags?

Neat lets see a picture of that

I think Bonecollector answered it!!

Isssssss It 6A?????????

One Big Boy

Holy Moly

LOL thats awesome

Where did you sand blast it at?

Huh thats funny because the Sportsman in Mesa Saturday I walked out with 1000 of the same primers. He walks out with the whole box and said he just got a shipment. Maybe because of the grand opening i guess. I was feeling pretty good about myself thinking i found the only box of gm210m primers. I guess not

He always ran funny when he was on Norter Dame. But his rookie year he was impressive, and last year he caught more then Fitzgerald, but then again everybody double team Fitzs and left Floyd open. Im glad Carson is throwing him the ball more this year.

Bell & Carlson are very nice and the weigh about 2.5#. So if it is coming from a synthetic stock you will probably add another pound

Yeah I ordered mine Friday from here. Free bump

This will be a hunting/ target shooting gun, so I want the 140s for the higher BC and 400-500 yard deer shots. But for a 400 yard shot with 120s you will probably still hit dead nuts.
