Well thank you. The barrel has a very slight taper to 1" to be flush with the brake. I think profiling the barrel is the worst part. It's very time consuming and keeping the barrel from chattering is challenging. Have to use the steady rest and do half the barrel then the other half.
Hey Dennis, yes it is RL17 I have loaded as much as 106gr, but 100gr will get you 4000FPS and like, Dennis said easy on brass. I am waiting for someone to make a 12 or 14 twist in 338, and when they do I will have it set up just for that load.

RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
