Good information.
I plan on buying a 16” 1:16 option at this point, but it’s good to know that even so, I need to be cautious and test stability before putting a can on.

Interesting. I also have a 16in 16tw and curious to see if they’ll stabilize
It's a Rem700 action 308 bolt head. It started out as a "cheap" build concept but quickly departed from that. Started out with a cheap laminate stock and Wyatt DBM, required some mods of the follower to keep rounds from creeping forward and feed correctly. Factory exctractor would not retain control of brass on extraction given how short they were, case mouth would bounce against inside of action and dislodge cases from extractor and drop them on top of mag. Off to longrifles.com for an M16 extractor, problem solved. Gun works with 500gr Maker bullets, flat nose lead bullets for plinking are single feed.
A couple issues, despite bedding and an attempt to float, the gun gets screwy if I restrain it in a tripod clamp or anything similar. Also possibly getting issues pushing the Makers too fast, optical chrono is saying 1050fps but in cross-referencing this chrono with a labradar (have to take can off) with a 375 Raptor it seems the optical chrono is reporting low. So they are fast and possibly starting to open due to air resistance. I fixed the Raptor by slowing them under 1000fps on the labrader, will try that with the SOCOM.
The 375 Raptor is on a Pork Sword chassis. I'm now putting the SOCOM on an XLR ATOM, which is a direct competitor to the Pork Sword with a more robust back end attachment. This will solve what I think is a barrel floating issue.
