    Did I burn up my 6GT at a match?

    I could see with a heavier bullet with longer bearing surface increasing pressure dwell time as it accelerates slower down the bore and that increasing throat wear without mechanical friction wear happening further down the barrel. I know nothing about this and don't have the intellectual...

    Which short action magnum?

    Should with SMK bullets. Let's say they fit in my m70 featherweight fine. The boat tail may have protruded below the neck/shoulder junction. I sold the rifle a couple years ago so I can't check.

    Question - Bartlein 400MOD Experience 18 Months After Launch

    Hardness has little to do with it. Glass is hard, makes shitty barrels. Oxy torch cuts 62rc D2 as fast or faster than 1018 at full soft. Stainless is almost always softer than carbon steel, yet the best stainless steels hold a edge longer than the best carbon(eliminating super alloy tool...

    Need some help with barrel length

    What ammo are you going to shoot, factory or hand loads? Cause if your not hand loading then most factory match ammo is about 1moa ish or maybe a bit better. Don't by the bullshit that any rifle is going to be .15 moa with factory ammo as shot by the paid youtube "reviewer". These are the same...

    How did I do?

    GAP has a legit 2112. While LRI is awesome, on a clone like this having a legit 2112 would make it next level.

    Need some help with barrel length

    Have you ran the numbers through a ballistics calculator to see what you are loosing with a 4" shorter barrel? I'm not trying to up sell you. I am a poor as well. I just know after 20 years in this sport that if I would have just bought a AI in 2003 I would be $$$ ahead. I also just finished a...

    Need some help with barrel length

    A) search used. 2- I also said get what ever if you plan don't plan to mod it. If you buy a savage, mod it out, at the end it's still a savage. I wouldn't put money into it beyond a stock pack and maybe a aftermarket 20moa rail. I didn't say don't get it. I would go ruger even tho it jas even...

    Need some help with barrel length

    Friends don't let friends buy savage. What I mean is if you plan to build it later, savages still don't have the part availability of remington pattern rifles. I have went down this road before and after reaching the end just bought a Impact 737R. Not saying that's what to do, but get...

    Barrel moved while trying to index muzzle break

    100% check it with a head space guage. Mind you, 5 degrees on a 16 tpi thread is less than 0.001 of headapace. But 2 to 3 o'clock is 32.5 degrees or .005" of extra headapace.

    6GT vs 6Dasher

    He's also running a 28" or 30" barrel. But I agree. Most likely moderately over pressure.
