I bought a used shouldered barrel off ebay from a well known prefot guy who uses wilson barrels. The chamberwas poorlydonewith nofreebore or lead angle! The rifling actuallyreached the case mouth. Thewilson barrel was verysmooth andeasy toclean. I headspaceditandputitona remington 700 on a monday and shot53 brake in shots duringtheweek. On saturdayiusedit on our hunting opener! Shot54 killed one of my largestwhitetail bucks. The caliber was6.5-06.
I am in the process of replacing this barrel with a home built remage! Also I am contemplating setting the Wilson back and rechambering it to 6 .5 creedmoor! I like the Wilson because of the ease of cleaning. It was full of copper when recieved it!, presumably from break- in or proof testing. Cantwaitto see how it shoots@asa creedmoor.n

I have several Wilson barrels in .264, .308, and .358. I order them from John at Ragged Hole. I get the contoured blanks. I’ve found them to be good quality for a low budget barrel. The story is that it’s the same barrel Cooper puts on their rifles. The .264 I own in his lightweight contour is exceptional. He responds and gets things shipped out quickly. He does prefits also, I have no experience with his work.

I must have had a brain fart on my first post.
