Advice Please - Accuracy showed promise but fell apart on custom 7 mm PRC

I had a previous thread on this rifle: https://www.snipershide.com/shootin...e-with-accuracy-issues.7230083/#post-11753452

I wanted to post a new thread as I have another situation with the same gun (different barrel) and would love any advice.

I will pick up where I left off on the old post. The gunsmith got a carbon6 barrel. 24" sendero with 1:8" twist. He chambered it and installed it on my Kelbly Atlas Lite action and got it back to me at the end of December. I started breaking in the barrel with some factory hornady 175 precision hunters and the handloads I had created for the previous barrel but seated a little deeper for new barrel (new ADG brass, CCI 250 primers, 65.7 gr H1000, 175 eldx bullets, seated 0.012" off the lands).

For break in I took 1 shot, cleaned out carbon and copper fouling, repeated for a second shot, and then went to 3 or 4 shot groups cleaning out carbon and copper fouling between groups. Initial groups were around an inch at 100 yards with both factory loads and handloads, but I wasn't too concerned as I was breaking it in. As I got more rounds through it the groups started to tighten up overall as I had hoped, and were consistently under an inch at 100 yards, with the best group (and last decent group) shown in the first picture attached. This group was with the handloads and was shots 33-36 through the new barrel. As I am still getting copper fouling when cleaning, I cleaned it again to bare metal. The next day, with the same loads, I shot the group in picture 2 (1.652" at 100 yds). I cleaned again and shot the group in picture 3 with factory loads (1.736" at 100 yds). It went from getting progressively better to shooting worse than ever all of the sudden.

The gunsmith checked in on how things were going and when I told him he said he wanted to look at it as he felt the gun was moving in the stock. He was planning to mill out some material on the stock and rebed the action. When he started removing material he noticed the crack shown in the last picture, which he felt was the issue. I contacted Grayboe and had outstanding customer service. I sent the stock in and they sent me a replacement. I mounted the gun in the new stock, torqued the action screws to 45 in-lbs as recommended by Grayboe (tightened front first while gun was upright resting on butt with a bit of downward force).

The first group with the new stock (shown in the 4th picture) had me thinking that the issue had been solved with the new stock, but after cleaning the fifth picture shows the next group (1.996" at 100 yards). Both of these groups were with the handloads. Another group after that with factory ammunition was over 1.25" but I didn't take a picture. Basically it seems that the stock was not the issue and doesn't explain the accuracy getting worse.

I have 59 rounds through the gun now and am still getting distinct copper fouling after shooting 3-4 rounds. In previous guns the copper fouling has been mostly eliminated by this point. I am not sure if that is important for anything, but sharing the information I can think of. I have verified multiple times that the Kelbly rail is torqued to 25 in-lbs, the night force cross bolts are torqued to 68 in-lbs, the night force rings are torqued to 25 in-lbs, and the action screws are torqued to 45 in-lbs as mentioned previously. Nothing has loosened up at any point. I don't have the means to check the torque value of the barrel to the action.

I am not sure where to go from here. Should I continue with break in and try to work up a load specific to this new barrel? I hate wasting more time and components on a gun that is shooting like this. It seems unlikely to me that I am going to fix this with reloading but maybe I am wrong. I haven't reached out to Carbon6 (I am confident they will be great to work with) yet as I wanted to start here and see what ideas the group has on things to look at or try. The gunsmith is kind of washing his hands of it at this point saying that his machining is good and it must be the stock.

Are these tooling marks unacceptable in a barrel ?

How bad are these ? Can they be firelapped away with the wheeler kit ? Or am I just a retard with a borescope.

Canadian woman tries to take a selfie with a shark, gets both hands and an arm bitten off

I guess someone else will have to take the picture now. Her selfie days are over.

Well, you don't have to bite my head arms off.

Friend from childhood recently passed. Left me his guns. Need some advice on one.

We met in 3rd grade and were pretty tight until he passed away at age 47 late last year. He was stricken with severe MS, and was slightly better than bedridden for his last 2yrs.

Shortly before he was put in long term care, he had me gather all his firearms and store them at my house with explicit instructions that no one else was to be trusted with them.
He was single, no kids, and aside from a few distant relatives, no next of kin.


Anyhow, one of the pieces was a basic Springfield 1911 of mid 90s production. As a received it, it was in a state of him modding it, or at least had plans to refinish it.

It's missing the sights, and it appears he had removed the factory bluing, and had polished the slide and lower. Kind of a messy job, but he was deep into MS at the time, so no fault there. No clue what his intentions were in the end with it.
Functionality wise, it seems fine. No feeding or eje issues.

So, what I'd like to do is get it back complete again, with minimal mods, no desert tan finish, and no tactical nonsense.
Just refinshed with some decent sights. It won't be used in any role, basically just a rememberance of him.

I'm wondering about the finish. I'd like a basic, matte blueing. I have access to a sandblaster in my shop and was considering doing the blueing myself. Anyone think this is unwise? Any tips? I do NOT want a flawless finish as it has some charcter to it with minor dings and such from him carrying it in his truck for decades.

Is the FBI holding the greatest shredding party in history??

Since they seem to be doing damage control before the too-long-delayed Kash Patel confirmation… they are grasping at straws in the front office!

What they are saying:

IMG_7160.jpeg


What they really mean:

IMG_7161.jpeg


Why do you think they are delaying Kash Patel? Because the minute he is confirmed, the whole infrastructure is in trouble.

So for the last 100 days or so since the election… Is the FBI engaging in The biggest electronic shredding party in history? Would anyone doubt it?

So the Question is whether the digital forensics folks at FBI are actually good enough to actually erase billions of files… so they can’t be recovered… before new management comes in.

And can the left in the Senate delay Kash long enough for them to finish the job?

Then again, how many folks in the FBI who love their jobs and mission… are saving files before they can be erased? Or blocking deletions? Or forwarding stuff to preserve it?

It is a real question…. Kash is coming.

And the penalties for destroying evidence of corruption in a federal law enforcement agency are not just firing.

How bad is the “Evil vs Good” struggle right now inside some of these agencies???

It would make an epic TV series, wouldn’t it??

Sirhr

PS… posted elsewhere. I think it sums things up well!!

And The Hits Just Keep On Coming !

Anyone for a bit more D.E.I. ?

Talk me out of an Athlon Cronus 4.5-29

I'm totally new to long range shooting and building a 6.5 creedmoor bolt gun. Currently have a Zermatt Arms Origin, Proof Research stainless barrel, and TT Diamond trigger. I don't really have anywhere to shoot out past 250 yards at the moment but want to add a long range bolt gun to the collection and take a class or two this year. I don't want to spend a fortune but will go up to around $2000 if I need to. Would rather stay between $1000 - $1500.

I really like the Athlon APRS6 reticle for some reason. I think because the windage/elevation is .2mil from the center dot and it doesn't seem as "cluttered". But again, I don't really know what I'm looking for in this type of scope. It has Japanese glass and seems to really punch above it's weight class. But it's not a Vortex or NF. 😂

I've also looked at the following:

NF NX8 4-32- seems like a good, not great, option at the price point?
Burris XTR Pro- don't like the + in the SCR2 reticle
Vortex G2 Razor - old and I think there are potentially better options at this price point
Vortex Viper PST 5-25- it's not a Razor and only 25x
Zeiss LRP S3- magnification goes the opposite way. lol
Tract Toric- seems like a higher priced Cronus

Any reason to not go with the Cronus at around $1100 for my first PRS-type bolt gun build? Or are there any other options I'm missing?

Thanks!

22 Creedmoor advice

I hope this is the right place for the thread. I will delete it if not.

So I am having a 22 CM build on a Tikka actions and Proof comp contour barrel. I have heard, not really confirmed that the 22 CM is a barrel burner. I would rather not have to replace my barrel after 1200 rounds so I wanted to ask this question. How do you increase barrel life?

My plan was to load the 22 cm with 90 grain Berger to about 2900 FPS. Curious if that would help extend the life or if I should call my gunsmith and have him chamber me a 22gt.....not sure if that is much help either. I just happen to have the 224 barrel so regardless of barrel life I am building a 224 caliber something.

Hoping for some real numbers on barrel life and running the 22 cm a bit slower. I know guys getting wild velocities out of it.

Thanks
