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

    I have some, but I was planning on using them out of the 300wm barrel. I'm already not getting amazing speeds out of the 178s (2620 if memory serves) so I didn't want to go too much heavier.

    Yeah, I was trying out varying 178 eld loads. Every single one of them was under 1 moa. It makes it more of a challenge to chose a load when they all shoot well.

    I lightened my trigger a little bit, and removed some of the over travel,does anyone know of a way to remove a little pre-travel?

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

    so I headed off to the range to break in my 308 barrel. I had some 178 hornady match rounds kicking around, so I loaded them up over 42 grains of varget (I just chose the amount randomly, knowing it was well below the max). First round down the pipe was 1.75 inches left of bull, so I dialed in 7...

    My Barrett MRAD in .300 Norma FINALLY showed up!

    That would be a travesty!

    I got mine in the deep chocolate brown ( officially called multi role brown). I think it looks great, but I prefer for things to be a little different from 'everything everyone else has' which is why I wouldn't do feel, black or green. The titanium looks awesome as well , but it's just my...

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

    The lugs simply appear larger (there is however less of them). I'm no metallurgist nor am I any sort of engineer or firearms designer. When I say beefier, I meant in visual appearance only. Does that mean the FN's lugs are better or worse? I have no idea, but they are definitely bigger, the flip...

    I'm basing it solely off the quick view of the lugs you get in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZF2HWwKkCo at the 19 second mark, you can see the bolt laying on the table, it looks like looks like 3 lugs 30 second mnark, the barrel is removed, and you can see the chamber, and...

    I'm assuming it's a comment on how long Nutnfancy's videos are.... His videos are not for everyone. As for the ballista bolt, I believe it is a tri-lug design. so it has less Lugs, but they are much beefier then the MRAD

    I have not fiddled with my trigger yet, but I'm hoping to take out some of the creep that is there before the break. It's not terrible, I'm just not a huge fan of it.

    210 SMK's for 300WM , what am I missing?

    in my neck of the woods, the hornady's are alot cheaper then the bergers, Maybe I'll track down a box of the 208 eld-m and see what I can do with them.

    210 SMK's for 300WM , what am I missing?

    So what would you recommend? for a higher bc, better quality bullets that is available for the same price? Hornady 208gr eld?

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

    With a 20 inch barrel, I feel like you are leaving a decent amount on the table with regards to velocities. But one thing is for sure, that 300wm is going to belch some fire. As a candian, I feel like I need to ask if there is an option to get a tax stamp and a can?

    210 SMK's for 300WM , what am I missing?

    So I'm starting to get in to the 300WM reloading game. I've scoured the net, and it looks like the 210Gr SMK gets very little love for the 300WM and I'm wondering why that is. No one seems to sayany negative about it, they just don't use it. It has a what looks like a good BC at .670 (G1). It's...

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

    Is there a consensus on the 338LM barrels? I'm torn over a 24 or a 26 inch fluted barrel, and tempted to hold off to get the carbon wrapped barrel, but the 50% higher cost in my neck of the woods is making me question if it's worth the premium.

    That's what the carbon fiber barrels are for ;)

    Hopefully the last cold day of shooting (this winter)...

    It is, and I've done it, but numb finger tips are not so good for load development :(

    Hopefully the last cold day of shooting (this winter)...

    Sheesh, I wish it was that warm here, low twenties is great shooting weather. I woke up to -2 yesterday and called it. It was just too cold of a day to enjoy myself at the range.

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

    Can anyone comment on how long the throat is on a 300WM mrad? I'm looking to make some rounds and I want to go with some longer bullets, I'm just unsure of how long I can seat them without jamming the lands. Will I be able to get the 210 SMK's to work?
