Just spun up a new Bartlein (30 in) .338 LM with my son while he's home for the holiday and gonna do some load workup.
We'd been using N565 with 300's to date (300 A-Tips) in the old barrel, he has Berger 300 Hybrids and N570 which I hadn't been able to find previously (had been using H1000 and Retumbo)

Vhitavouri's load data has min/max over a mile wide- from 65 to 85 grains. We do typical OCW workups usually, for those of you using this bullet/powder combination where would you start and what increments to work up?

Both are 6.5. Each have been cleaned and new inserts installed.

Polished is SOLD shipped

Changing things up this winter. Need to offload a vector action with .308 and .223 bolts. Action is a quick change. Selling for $1100 + shipping.

Action is in perfect condition and only has a few hundred rounds on it currently

So... over the years I've used, removed, installed, replaced a fair few 'pre-fit' barrels - almost all Savage barrel nut style, though. Along the way, via the school of hard knocks, I found out about the joys of barrels... not always pointing where you want them to - as in having to use up most of your windage or elevation (or both) to get the gun zeroed. *Especially* with factory nuts and lugs. Switching to quality aftermarket lugs - surface ground flat and parallel - and aftermarket barrel nuts, with the mating surface machined perpendicular to the axis of the threads, made a *huge* difference. Basically eliminated it, in my experience.

Fast forward to more recently... I've got a couple barrel-nut pre-fits - one a Proof CF, and the other a Shilen, both with aftermarket nuts - and an Origin action. And they both 'point' about 5-6 mils off to the left

I didn't really notice it at first, because the first scope (Bushnell XRSii 4.5-30x) I had on that gun with the first barrel (Proof CF 6.5CM) had a wider range of adjustment, so I never really bumped into the edge of the range of travel. The second barrel (NSS/Shilen 223 Rem) actually points a little less off to the side, so I didn't notice that one either, even when I changed the scope out for a Burris XTRiii 5.5-30x. But when I swapped back to the Proof barrel, I got it zeroed... but started having all kinds of problems with the scope not following the adjustments, or randomly changing POI.

After taking everything apart - barrel off, rail off, scopes out of the rings, etc. - and not finding anything loose, I put it back together with the Burris scope and Proof barrel. Since it'd been completely disassembled, I figured I'd stick the bore sighter on it, and holy $hit I was about 3 clicks off the far left side of the windage travel. Swapped out the Burris for the Bushnell, and while it wasn't up against the edge of it's range, it was definitely way, way further over than I would like. Pulled the Proof barrel and put the Shilen back on. As mentioned earlier, it didn't point *quite* as far over, enough so that the Burris would actually work with it. Barely.

FWIW, both barrels have the nuts (red) loctite'd on, after setting the headspace with the appropriate gauges.

Unfortunately, I don't have a *shouldered* barrel handy for this action to test this out further. Might be able to borrow one from someone local.

I'm *pretty* sure the face of the receiver, the face of the nut(s), and both sides of the lug were as clean as I could get them. Not sure what else might be the culprit as far as pushing both barrels over that far. Or more specifically... I can think of a few things, but I'm really not liking the direction those thoughts are headed.

Curious what else folks here think might be the cause - or the solution.

MDT poly/metal mags... Any good?

I have several of MDTs straight poly and straight metal mags and have been happy with them. The hybrid's metal feed lips with weight/noise of polymer body sounded great for hunting and I was thinking about trying them out next time I needed a few mags.

Now I see great prices on the black Friday sale, but they're in the discontinued category which makes me a bit worried that 1) they aren't great and 2) if I like them I won't be able to get more.

I haven't been able to find very much info on them so... Does anyone have an opinion to share?

Quick question for anyone that knows. When using factory ammo for NRLH, does it have to be carried in its product packaging or can be put in an ammo binder?
I’m assuming when they chrono your factory ammo they will want to see it come out of a factory box.
