Just got my long action AXMC with 1 factory barrel (308) and two custom ones.

Question in the factory 308 barrel; If i mount the barrel and screw it in by hand (hand tight) the timing of the flats (at the front) is not as nice like on the pictures I see where the flats always seem to be at a nice 90degree. If I want that I need to unscrew the barrel for about 1/4 of a turn.

Is this expected behavior?

They are not supposed to line up with anything
and if you don't screw that barrel on all the way and shoot a round off, your face will be in for nice surprise when the case head seperates
 
Mine doesn't know I just bought a AXMC to be big brother to the AIAX. Was trying to hold out for the AXSR in lefty but this was too good to pass up....So I know the feeling

Those of y’all that reload and have the 16.5” proof carbon barrels in 308 how much of a pain in the ass was it trying to find a load for it? Using 175smk’s, lapua brass, CCI 200’s, and varget. I’m having horrible luck. Did it take a certain amount of rounds for it to break in or speed up?
