You are not. I have 2 AT’s and only shoot a single caliber in each of them so the barrels are very rarely removed.

Small varmint kills (the bastards!)
We have a coyote kill thread so why not one dedicated to the smaller bastards? Here’s some ground squirrels in Wisconsin that will burrow no more… 17 Hornet 🐝 🐝 22LR CCI SV Not sure which gun.

The AXSA just got a straight tube 6.5. I wish it was 7 or 7.5T but at the time of ordering I got an 8T with plans to only shoot 140s. Going to try the 153s, but I’m not too confident they’ll stabilize properly.

That makes my new Brux 10 twist look wimpy in comparison.

Wow dude, you gonna take any allen wrenches to this match or you just gonna hope other guys got ya covered? Haha
It will probably be my own is how it usually goes but stoked for to prep for NF hopefully again this yearGo kick some ass brother
Redemption at the ranch Preston id 2 day light elr. the format is like NF and KRG.
I have two black thumbhole ATs with the exact same scope rings and scopes.
One if them is in .308 Winchestore, while the other is in 6.5mm Creedmore.

Trying a 300nm improved this year so far the juice isn't worth the squeeze.
Thunder beast 50 can making an appearance
That's not my rifle... Ai in the center homie
But that's the other guy she is telling you he's just a friend
18% more powder for only about 125fps gain over 300prc
But it's cool. We all have to play with cool stuff from time to time... even if it turns out to be a dud later.
I'm playing with a 7-300PRC. Cool, but it isn't turning out as cool as I wanted it to be in my mind.
I can understand. I’ve been back and forth so many times. I’ve got 60 rounds of ammo (Berger 215 handloads in Peterson brass left over from previous 300NM barrel I sold) as well as the bolt for my AXSR and 300NM dies so I’ve been leaning towards getting that barrel. Plus there’s several in stock I’d be happy with.
That being said I haven’t pulled the trigger on said barrel yet because deep down I fear 300PRC makes more sense. I can get dies, and only 60 rounds/brass isn’t a ton. I can find a .300 bolt for my ASXR. So…..
Damn. This is tough.
Everyone I know (only a few) says that the effort to fireform, cost of dies and any other brass prep tool, does not warrant the minimal velocity increase. About the only good thing with 300NMI is the reduced brass growth. They all say it's the worst cartridge to improve.
My buddy's 28" 300NMI with N568, 245 LRHTs was 2970, vs my standard 27" 300NM 250 Atips, with RL50 at 2930.

Yeah, not much of a improvement. I'm running N570 with the 245s 2950ish out of a normal 300NM on a 26" barrel. Took a lot of different combos to get there, and had to have my freebore extended, but it's happy now. Just counting down the rounds when N570 is going to kill this barrel.
Curious - with AXMC/AXSR, where is the juice vs the squeeze over the 300NM? Or is there?
Do you track throat erosion?
With RL50, I was only getting 0.003" every 100 rounds. But with the factory Berger 230, which I assume is H1000, I was getting 0.008" which was the first rounds fired then the 300-400, it was 0.006". I'm at 600 rounds now and the last 200 with RL50 I've only had 0.001" totaling 0.023" total erosion since the new barrel.
I know N570 is a barrel burner, but just curious to how it compares to other powders.
I don't think there is any benefit aside from reduced brass growth. With my 300 NM (Lapua brass) I have to trim about 0.004" after every firing (annealed each firing). I don't remember how much I trim above min SAAMI length (+0.002 to 0.005), but it's just to be consistent between each firing.
Do you think any other cartridge beyond 300NM would be worth running in the AXMC/AXSR? 33/37XC?
I mean, sure, there are benefits to those larger cartridges. Really depends on your use case. ELR Light or Tac class (if you can get the AXSR under 19lbs), I think the 30 cal with high BC 230s at 3000+ fps is superior to any of the 338 cartridges, especially if you can get into the 3200 fps realm.
For the AXSR, you can have a 1.350x5" straight taper to 1.1 at 30", you can still be underweight for the ELR light. I also run the TBAC 338 Ultra SR 100% of the time and run Ckyepods DP, which is a significant portion of weight right there.
Another reason I like the 300 NM is you can mag feed the heavies, whereas 338 LM you'll neuter the cartridge if you try to mag feed the 300gr bullets, or run into donut issues down the line. And 33/37XC is going to be strictly single-feed.
If you're shooting Heavy class, I think the AXSR will be handicapped compared to the other purpose-built rifles.
For the AXSR, I'd stick with 300NM or 300 PRC, but run long barrels for the PRC to make up for the velocity. This is just theoretical, but the hit percentages increase drastically at extended distances (2000+ yards) with 230s at 3100+ fps compared to 2900fps or the 338 cal 300s at 2900 fps.

I don't but when I clean, I run a bore scope down the barrel to check how clean it is. I don't chase the lands. But 700+ rounds in, you can see quiet a bit of cracking. I would be happy if it last 1200 rounds. I'm sure if went with a different powder I could extend the barrel life, what a couple hundred rounds? I realize performance comes at a cost. And I am not going to shoot a NM at PRC speeds..... There is a reason why you go Norma.
