We had some issues with the PH2 doing the same thing. Call them and they will likely replace the lighter firing pin and offer a heavier firing pin spring.
That is normal. With no base wind entered, and Spin drift, Aero and Corriolis on, they do not activate until you enter a wind vector and speed. At that point all are engaged and will be part of the solution.
Targets have a slightly thicker jacket than the H VLD's. They will hold together slightly better with higher velocity impacts on game on the closer shots. This will result in them having a higher low velocity expansion threshold. If you are set to hunt with a 7, go for it, but I would keep...
As I stated back then, with names of who said stated that to me, it was just what I was told. I have to this day never used up a barrel on a 300 win mag. But I didn't then, and do not now claim to have anywhere near the round count Tim North and Joe Starnes told me they had. Believe what you...
I did a little searching today too. SAM that built one right after I did had the same results and I believe also went back to the 300 win mag. There is data out there that supports what I saw. I will admit I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the first barrel that made for a very...
That is a pretty good charge. I was shooting 82.2 grains in mine according to my notes. The Cryo treatment interests me. It is said there are other desirable traits that go with the process too.
I just looked through some notes and can not confirm the round count on the second barrel. But my memory thinks it was 350 to 400. But could have been less. I had several 30 cal CA barrels. All shot great but these were the only ones I burnt up before I sold the rifles they were on.
So many barrels ago. But you are jogging my memory here. I think the second one was looking bad at an early count, like 350 or 400, so I guess I didn't toss that one. I set it back and chambered it 30 Lapua AI for another rifle. Then went to 300 Win with a carbonsix on that rifle and ran it...
I have two of them in the carbon wrapped version. Alex Wheeler is building me a 30 Lapua Improved off his reamer design. I usually just do two barrels when I build something like that. If it was a Nosler I would do 3. :ROFLMAO:
Don't forget there are 208's and 220's now too from Berger.
My concerns are your velocity. That is way low for a 75 gr charge with a 215. Is it a real short barrel?
If the barrel is 24 or 26" you should be seeing closer to 2850. If you haven't seen pressure signs yet , I would keep going up...
The current .338 Terminator is steel. But I have and still do use both. My 300 Terminators are carbon. I never get my barrels hot. Three shot strings are the most I will comfortably shoot a magnum. I am a hunter first. Only shoot a few matches a year. Have used both steel and carbon wrapped in...
Yeah we need to compare notes on this as we go forward. That is exactly the same performance I am getting from my 26" 300 win Mag +P with a charge well below max in a wide node. Two different ways to get like performance. I am at 350 rounds and throat has only moved a few thousands at first...
