    Barnes Match Burners .308

    Re: Barnes Match Burners .308 The ones that I've seen were cheaper than SMK's. They shot similar to SMK's in my gun, although I haven't had a chance to shoot more than 100 yards yet. The do advertise a higher ballistic coefficient then SMK's. They also chronoed a little faster. What's not...

    Barnes Match Burners .308

    Re: Barnes Match Burners .308 I recently tried them. Got comparable POI to what I normally use (SMK's) but chronoed about 20-30 FPS faster through my rifle (Savage 110 action, 26" McGowen 1-10 barrel). I haven't been able to try them at anything over 100 yds. yet though. They have a BC...

    Gunsmithing McGowen Barrel

    Hey guys, just purchased a McGowen barrel for my Savage Tactical, 110FP and I have a problem (I think...). I want to use 175 gr SMK's but when i check them for OAL (using a case that's split on two sides) I get max of 2.75. I've checked several times so I'm fairly certain that it's an accurate...
