Reply With QuoteGlad to hear it's working out. I recently built a 30-06 bench rest rig using a Shaw barrel. Load testing is on going but the 190 grain SMK at 2700 fps is showing promise at 1k.
Recently had a shaw replacement barrel put on my savage model 116. Changed over from 30-06 to 35 whelen. Used the barnes reloading manual with reloader 15 and a 200grain barnes tsxfb.
Test loads tightened up once i got up to 56 grains and 56.5 grains. 3/4 three shot group with 56 grains and 5/8 with 56.5. Pretty amazing with a 200$ barrel and the very first test loads. Cant be happier. The distance was 100 yards.

you need to do the OCW TEST..
I've shot groups under 1/2" at 200 yds with my 308 Shaw, one at .22". For the money I don't think you can beat these.
"An armed society is a polite society"
"...shall not be infringed" What's the confusion?
Had one in 338-06, shot great.
