May the Reloading Gods Forgive Me...

I called Wilson months ago, and they were saying no 37xc support, like you said.
Tubb has the one seating die, but it must be quite a bit longer to accommodate up to the 41xc bullets. That's why I was thinking of opening the neck area of a Wilson 33xc die, but apparently you can't set the top out far enough even for 375 A-Tips

It would be nice if Wilson could make the XC seaters with the Cheytac body blank and then they could probably do Arbor for 33, 37, and 41xc in one die with different seat stems, but maybe there are things I'm not considering that make that impossible.

With your Warner seater, could you possibly seat 33xc with a different seat stem?

Do you care to elaborate your thoughts on 37xc as I'm thinking of getting into it? I have a 338 Lapua built on a BAT CT being finished up soon, and pondering 37xc and 375CT.
I'm leaning toward 37xc due to the tenon on the CT being the minimum required.

I was going to build a 33xc but decided to go Lapua as I had a Bart. MOD BB blank, and heard that with big bore, there are mixed results, and some ELR shooters getting way fewer rounds out of a barrel, so I figured I'd do another 338 Lapua first.

Thanks again,
Scott

Noveske DDF Barrels

That is the true advantage of the Noveske barrels over the other Precision barrel makers. You can rapid fire it, or even on auto, and you don't completely destroy the barrel. I know for a fact that a WOA SS barrel will be opened up to about 2 MOA after you fire a 30 round mag on auto.

I have no doubt that Noveske barrels were instrumental to getting people to believe a decently accurate fighting rifle could be had in the AR15.

But beating a soft-as-butter "match" stainless with a hardness in the 20's and tight as fuck chamber isn't all that impressive...
Doing it with a stainless barrel 20ish years ago...OK.

In today's market with far more options, I don't see where anyone can't spec out something as good if not BETTER if they choose to. Moreover, even the military has figured out that even with basic bitch chrome line and the proper trigger, FF rail, ammo, and glass that much, much more can be done than the average person expected.
