    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    eh? are you sure about that? if the rear sleeve is indexed and doesn't rotate, you wouldn't be able to cycle the bolt.here it is "closed", acting like a dust cover (when looking from the rear it has rotated clockwise) and here it is open (when looking from the rear, it has rotated counter...

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    MRAD has a 2 part sleeve.... the forward sleeve, near the ejection port/mag well, is indexed so it cannot rotate during firing/operation of the gun. The rear sleeve free spins with the raising and lowering of the bolt handle. It basically self indexes every time you cycle the bolt. Maybe I don't...

    AICS vs MRAD vs ? in 300 win mag...

    I've never shot an AI, but I LOVE my MRAD. Is th4e AI better? maybe, but I haven't felt shortchanged. I am content with the available calibers, and the mags are as others pointed out, great. In a 300WM, fluted barrel, the MRAD feels like I'm shooting a stout 223. The recoil is a joke. Gun...

    I'm not a huge fan of the Rianov.... I'm sure there is nothing wrong with it, it just doesn't have the same appeal for me as the BORS

    Has anyone used the ExRings on their MRAD? I'm considering a BORS, which necessitates switching to Barrett rings. If I get Barrett rings, the ExRings sound like a great way to add some extra range, Assumi9ng they aren't too tall or un-reliable.

    Ah! Mine was just factory hornady match. I was searching for, but couldn't find factory hornady eld-m. as for the brass I am using for luad development, lapua brass.

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    The factory hornady match rounds shot terribly out of my 26 Inch barrel, but for now, I'm using virgin, unprepped brass for the load development. I saw the odd small ejector mark, so I suspect my load may be a little warm. The next time I go out, I'll be putting rounds over a chrony, so that'll...

    I was working on the 338LM load development. I have to say, calling the recoil on this thing mild is being unfairly harsh. I swear my un-braked 308 had more recoil. On the plus side, I found a nice fat ~1 grain node between 90 and 91.2 grains of h1000 under 285 ELD-M. I didn't have a chrony with...

    338 LM bushing size question

    I'm ordering some supplies for my 338. I'm going to be going the redding route and I'm curious if anyone can recommend what bushing sizes I should be ordering to resize the necks of Lapua brass, for the hornady 285 ELD projectiles. I can't be the first to try this combination out and I'd like to...

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    it's early, way too early to panic, but goddamn the mrad did not like the ammo I had at 200 yards, 3 shot groups ranged from .8 MOA to 3 MOA. It was just hornady 285 grain BTHP, but I was expecting more seeing how the 300WM and 308 barrels loved everything I put down the spout and rarely spat...

    same, I picked up a 26 inch heavy barrel, I figured I'd wants the max velocity out of it, so I wanted the 26.

    I just got the conversion to 338LM, I can't wait to try it out, I'm hoping to break it in this weekend

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    Yeah, I think I'll be in the 90-93 grain range somewhere. for 308 there are some magic loads (like the 43.4-43.5 grains of varget and 178 gr pills), I haven't come across many similar ones for the 338. either way, I can't wait. The 300WM kicks like my budies 308 at MOST so I'm curious how the...

    The "New" Barrett MRAD Thread!!!!!!

    looks like my 26 inch 338 barrel has shipped. Does anyone have any recipes they'd care to share with h1000? I'm uncertain of what bullets I want to shoot (the 285 ELD-M's seem to be abundant,relatively cheap and look decent on paper) but I'm hoping to make it work with h1000 so I don't need to...
