Somewhere, someone is about to invent the Swedish Burrito Enlarger..

Barrett SMR diagram

If not for the press fitting, a barrel change would be very straightforward with the right wrench.

edited to add I went down this road several years ago and, no surprise, a company as big as Barrett was unable to accommodate any chamberings or barrel lengths that weren’t already standard offerings from them.

I primarily shoot 215's from my winmag and at 600 yards I haven't shot in wind yet that I've had to hold off of an IPSC size target.

I was just thinking, if I wanted to give myself every advantage I could in a situation like this, what would be the absolute best bullet for the job. I've been entertaining the idea of the Warner flatline 190's.

Are the warners the copper solids?

Precision is about consistency.

If you don't care about group size keep carrying on mass-producing whatever comes out of the end of your handloading process.

That's precisely why I didn't take my buddy up on his offer to sell me his 300NM SMR.

It is stupidly accurate, but I didn't want to have to deal with the inevitable barrel swap. I'm guessing that it would have to go back to Barrett. There is so little information out there available on this though.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I'll keep the -400s for .223. Trying them in 6BR seemed like a "thing to try" last night; glad I checked in here first.

I've got enough -450s for a couple of years. I've just got even more -400s....

We shall see. I think Alan Dershowitz's theory about the judges that control the Epstein files (not the DOJ or FBI) has merit.

isnt Dershowitz on the flight logs list and island visitor list?

If you trimmed to 1.915" would that get most of them?

I’ve owned several dozen thermals, ranging in price from $1900 to $21,000, from several manufacturers and several countries. None of them have a better image than N-Vision. For the most part, all the BAE core thermals produce the same great image, just packaged differently depending on the purpose (clip-on, stand alone, magnification, no magnification).

All the wizz-bang “features” from the Chinese ones never impressed me. Thermal IS the feature I care about!

POT for clip ons
N-Vision for stand alone… and supposedly very soon clip ons as well

The one exception I make is that popular Chinese RH25 is (for the price) pretty impressive. Id never suggest it to someone who could afford more, but it’s not half bad.

Going back to the original post, it sounds to me as if the new barrel has a smaller gas port than the original. You probably still have the original barrel and it sounds as if you'll probably be tearing down to the gas port anyway. Measure and compare the 2 gas ports and perhaps you'll find the root of the problem. JMO

I load the 100’s with TAC and have good results. Under a .5” group at 100 and no problem hitting the 10” plate at 830.

So, a viable option for cho Mo's?

That is right up there with the guy who got killed by the industrial mixer
