I'm holding out for a 1:8 (which will still run my 300 bergers) for solids, with at least 32". IMO, I think you'll want at least 30" in 1:8 twist for your solids.
LOL, yes, no welding. I was thinking I really wanted to be closer to 32", but this is what a couple of guys had in stock so I was looking for the instant gratification. Any idea where I can find a really long 1:8 blank?
www.bartleinbarrels.com Yeesh. I was hoping to have it before 2023.
. But yeah, I love Bartlein barrels.
I may have a connection for a 1-8. I will send you a PM, hang tight!
Probably going with H50 because I can find it and actually have quite a bit for the Cheytac.
Don't purchase a minimum twist rate barrel purchase one with fast enough twist that you can stabilize anything that you plan on shooting i would consider 32" minimum for the 33xc
I went with the 1:8 Mod BB finished 30" and it shoots lights out with solids. Only pushing 275gn at 3180fps but have no fire cracking after 100 rounds. Chase did tell me a 34" was probably needed to burn up all the H50BMG but the 30" is even getting a little long IMO for an MRAD. Now if I was doing a 41XC I'd probably go 36" on a dedicated build.
That is interesting how he has it attached to the chassis and not the barrel.
Yuupers, you don't have to worry about the chrono effecting you POI.
making sure the ambient temp is about the same when you shoot. Or clock what the FPS is at 80, 90, 100, 110 degrees and how ambient effects FPS. I need to start logging it better.Same here. This is the first time I have seen someone mount one like that and it totally makes sense. I haven't bought one because of the POI shift, but to fab up something like this where you can work load data without worry about POI shift is a win.
His brake has some odd angles, it is out of the way for the most part. Given where his bipod is don't think he has room on the bottom unless he makes a longer handguard.Yuupers, you don't have to worry about the chrono effecting you POI.
I find it odd, he has it off to the side, where the muzzle blasts hits VS underneath, away from the blast.
Edit - It's also nice, if you load 50 rounds, you can measure all 50 over an extended period (just don't clear it) to watch (as in my case) your SD grow
I have had my barrel for about a month, just been to busy w work. Hopefully this weekend I can get out and start pressure testing!
The Warner has the Tubb Nosering option for smoother transonic transition. As a side note, I would not allow my daughter to get a nosering.
that's why I asked, I thought it looked like it had one. Thank you!!The Warner has the Tubb Nosering option for smoother transonic transition. As a side note, I would not allow my daughter to get a nosering.
Who spun your barrel? ThanksView attachment 7929544
Bartlein modBB 1-7.5 finished at 30 inch plus Cadex brake. She should run faster than my 338 LM Ack Impr…
Geno I know I was warned, I had it in the cart multiple times but backed out. My supply room is over ran . Guess I will be adding H50 to my collection. This works out for the best I guess. Rather keep all the N570 for my other cartridges w a smaller appetite
