    Bartlein New Barrel Material 400MODBB

    Is there a reason your smith thinks it is a difference in the barrel being chambered and not a difference in the reamer being used?

    Slugging barrels......Don't F'in do things like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    About a month ago, I stuck a 2" long .330" pin gauge into the well oiled bore of a new 338 Bartlein barrel blank. I turned it loose and it slowly started slithering to the other end. I was fascinated by the fact that I could put my finger over the hole and feel a suction and make the pin stop...

    How much for a custom reamer?

    You can’t do that for a sizing die. The die would be the same size as the chambers. You can use the chamber reamer to make a seater.

    Kelbly Nanook 6mm Creedmoor build advice!

    No hunting, its too heavy for that. I'm hoping to use it to develop shooting skill at longer distances. I've never shot at anything beyond about 350 yards.

    Kelbly Nanook 6mm Creedmoor build advice!

    I'm almost finished with a 6mm Creedmore assembly for myself. I used a Krieger modified Heavy Palma contour 7.5" twist barrel. My stock is a McMillan Game Warden. I'm using a Surgeon action and Surgeon bottom metal. If I were doing another I would use a different combination of stock and bottom...

    Action Recommendation

    Surgeon, Borden, or Stiller are the only ones I would consider. There is something I don't like about all three of them. If Borden would change the extractor in theirs, I would buy one.
