As the title says, are any of the cut rifle barrel makers makin prefits these days. I called Rock Creek about my 300RUM I had on order, since March, and apparently they "lost my order" and now are not really doing prefits anymore. Nothing against button barrels, as that's all I've ever had, I just wanted to try a cut rifle barrel.
I ordered a Bartlein blank from Butch's Reloading and sent it to Jim at Apache to finish it up in .300 WM for my 116 action.
That's one way to skin that cat.
I think that is what I am going to do, how do you like the Bartlein?
Check sharp shooter supply for a threaded brux barrel
It just shipped out today.Quote:

Been busy with hunting season but yesterday I squeezed a couple sub moa groups with 210gr Nosler LRABs and Berger 230gr OTMs. (3/4" and 7/8"). Two other combos not that good.
Still a "work" in progress. Showing some promise.
Sounds good, what powder are you using?
H1000 and Retumbo. I stay with the Hodgdon Extreme line to help eliminate variables due to temperature fluctuations. You sometimes use your heater and air conditioner the same day here.Quote:

Bartlein is at the top of the heap for competition barrels along with kreiger.
