I really do not want to know what you were searching for when you found that

300 RUM is the KING of the 30 cal magnums. I’ve had 3 of them.
Case capacity is 114 grains H2O just shy of 338LM
Nosler brass was always hard to find and rem sucked balls
Other problem is mag freeing. Unless you go Wyatt, nothing will accommodate it because it’s so long

If I stay at or below book max of 67.5 grains of each 1000 with a 180, I think they will last indefinitely without expansion
Primer pocket expansion is invariably a result of an over pressure load. At least over pressure for that brass.

As soon as I hit 68 grains or more, the primer pockets expand

I eagerly await Lapua brass, and I will buy a couple hundred cases and be done with it for the rest of the life of this barrel. And maybe even the next barrel

in my grandson's complex in Naples

Arizona is chock full of subhuman trash so I've had to deal with that a bunch of times, driving like an asshole is the norm here

The one saving grace of Arizona is that I can go out in the desert and shoot my guns but the democrats in phoenix are trying desperately to change that

Built a AR10 from Aero parts and BA barrel AGB five years ago, in 6.5 CM. Ammo Hornady 147 gr ELD. Only good part was the
blem Geissele trigger. And a NF SHV. Its a 1k yard gun if the shooter gets it right. The pita part was getting the fucking thing to cycle and eject
consistently which it does. Now it is getting a 7.62 barrel and see.

Sold

It’s interesting that FB started out as a young person app for college kids and others. Now it’s mostly used by old folks and businesses as a solid platform. The shooting community uses it extensively for communication.

I joined last year since I run PRS22 matches and people always asked.

I had no intention of ever being a FB'er but when I worked in the firearms industry most all my dealers used it for promotional announcements. Once I retired and FB clamped down on the gun shops I could have left it but, by then, too many out of town cousins and friends were on there as friends and I just left it running.
Honestly, as successful as the Vudoo has been in the past, I see @RAVAGE88 not having to rely on it for too long as word will get out quickly that he is in business.

Did you shoot this? Nice work.

Thanks. Shot from our back yard over 2-nights at 2 hrs each night.

Bore diameter vs charge weight, pressure, velocity, powder type, and rate of fire. Bearing surface length of the bullet was also discussed recently, and some subscribe to that too.

A .308 barrel with 168gr bullet at 2,700 FPS is going to outlast almost every popular cartridge out there. I wouldn't even start to worry until you were at least 5K rounds in, and you'll probably get a lot more than that before it is shot out.

"Improve performance" contradicts "minimize wear". The harder you run something, the faster it will wear.

As said above; barrels are consumables. Enjoy the ride, and replace when necessary.

it does seem on here and everywhere i have looked that it is a hope to get lucky deal. there are several other expensive rifle brands that i have heard the same about and have had some experience myself.
weight is my main concern. have looked at the Armalite above,PSA and a local outfit called CORE. anybody got hands on with any of those,esp in FL?
tx again for replies

I’ll take this please. DM inbound.

A 7.5” bulb seems like a good thing to carry 10 miles into the wilderness on an elk hunt.

Or some caps.
Worked on all seasons from Sept-Jan in CO.
Good thing we never see moisture to let in…..

MK are OK.
Crap fit trying to piece together a set for the vx5. Shoulda saved the time and $ and got the Leupold.
Aadland are amazing.
Vortex are good for the $

Gonna try those 100 concepts ones I think. Like the design/idea and less “thin” areas and hopefully quieter

Click to expand...

The 100 concepts are not particularly quiet. At least, not how I have mine set up. The cap scrapes and knocks against the scope body as I open or close it, and makes a hollow clattering sound. Not a big deal for my use, but louder than a butler creek flip cap.

And, I have never had a problem with rain using butler flip caps either.

Mornin, Fellas,
The data entry is going well to get everyone plugged into my bookkeeping software and as I've read every email, it's funny that all three people still using AOL have emailed me.

As one can imagine, I've sifted through a lot of information in your emails, but I don't have all the info I need to discern who has what generation of action. So, DON'T do anything right now, but what can be expected next is an email from me (mass email style), where I'll simply ask, "What generation action do you have?" If you know the answer to this, simply reply with "Gen X" in the subject line. If you have a single shot, simply put "V22S". In the body of the email, please provide your full name, address and phone number. Please do not write anything else, anywhere else.

For those of you that do not know what generation you have, please see the pictures below. The easiest way to tell is by the bolt release, and for the Gen 1 and Gen 1.2, the cocking piece and bolt shroud are different.

Once I have the info, I'll organize a few details and keep moving forward. Also, when appropriate, I'll be accepting payments using the CASH App, which keeps me off the phone and provides some small level of "automation" for the process.


Gen 1


Gen 1.2


Gen 2, 22LR and Magnums


Gen 3, Three60 and V22S Single Shot

Onward and upward....
