I’ll take it. PM to follow.

Zero round count? Do you know what year this barrel was made? Just curious as Larue had some "field grade" barrels floating around when they started making them in house.

I haven't posted in awhile and wanted to update my story. I bought my MWS back in 2013 and was quite happy with the 16" CL .308 barrel, it manages a hair under an MOA at 100y. I bought their 7-08 barrel and was NOT very happy. In fact I shot my Benelli M4 side by side at 100y and the 7-08...

Sako TRG 338 Lapua Magnum I have been unable to get 285 BTHP to group out of either my R700 XCR or TRG with H-1000. Both are 1:10, shoot 1/2 MOA with 300 SMK and factory Hornady 250. I am NOT a 285 fan. ^^ 285 stringing as usual. Have tried several brakes. And for those wondering...

MWS 7-08... Just wait. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Resurrected because I had to go through this and... its all about me. I lightly preheated just the rail with a map gas torch. I then took a slotted tipped soldering iron and held it on each screw for several minutes, applied more torch just to that screw and rail until I saw a wisp of smoke...

Found the vertical stringing. Make sure the old eye piece lock ring is nice and snug on those Mark 4s. Shot a one hole 3-shot group with the 300 SMK. I am abandoning the 285 BTHP as I cannot find a load that works. 300 SMK Hornady once fired brass Federal 215 primers 89.5g H1000 .015"...

Was chasing some vertical stringing issues today. Down to the last 3 shots and tightened the eye piece lock on the Mark 4. Last three touched at 100y. 300SMK .015" off lands 88g H-1000 Hornady Brass Federal Magnum primers.

Accuracy has been sub-MOA for me out of a stock XCR LR Tac.

I am having no issues with extraction whatsoever. Here is the bolt.

Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles Update 3: I finally got the replacement XCR to Shooters World for some 100y groups. The 285 loads I started with were developed for the original XCR and when I tried to run them in the Sako (bought to replace the 700) I was jamming the bullets back into...

Update. I called Remington mid January about the XCR and what we saw through the bore scope. The guy was polite and reassuring that they would take care of it. He emailed a UPS shipping label and I sent the gun in a cheap hardcase, no muss no fuss. About a week later I got an email stating...

Ok, so it was a reach. People do use it on elk, not that I agree.

If I can't find any more H-1000 I'll be putting those in my measurer come end summer.

From what my smith told me, those shooting CIP length are likely using Berger VLDs and typically a different chamber is reamed for those. If you the had to use SAMI length billets it would be a long jump. Agree having the option is a better plan.

7mm-08 in a gasser? USPS says my brass was delivered, no where to be found. Hope some tweaker is happy with my brass.

Anyone showing up Thursday? New TRG to break in... :) !

It seriously is one of the best looking ARs I have seen.

But if your rifle is grouping well with SAMI length rounds, is there a reason to load a longer OAL, VLDs aside?

When you cluster rounds at 100y, move to 200 and attempt to pull then back in. Then 300y if equipment can hang. The fundamentals at 100 translate down range.
