There is a very good chance that the Box Canyon match will be won with a CRB barrel this weekend. Many of us will be shooting them. Austin O, Austin B, Clay B, Wade, myself, and several others.

View thread Contact supportI’m shooting Dtacs (the non nose ring) in my Dasher and they are doing very well. That’s at 600yds in the pic. I was checking the water line on that load. The chrono numbers are with less than 100 rounds thru it.As long as a 7.5 twist stabilizes a 115 dtac I’m sold!
Very nice! I’m planning a tubb spec 6xc so this makes me happy to see this thing shoot so well. And all my stuff matchesDasher
I loved my XC barrels way back when. I have a pic on my phone of an insane group I shot at distance one evening with my XC. I’ll have to see if I can find it. It was many years ago. That’s the reason I still have all these Dtacs. Once I shoot them up, I’ll switch back to 105 Hybrids.Very nice! I’m planning a tubb spec 6xc so this makes me happy to see this thing shoot so well. And all my stuff matchesgot everything in from David
If you see Wade, give him a big hug for me and ask why he's not sending me child support on time every month.Many of us will be shooting them. Austin O, Austin B, Clay B, Wade, myself, and several others.
I’ll tell him he better get some checks in the mail.If you see Wade, give him a big hug for me and ask why he's not sending me child support on time every month.

Yes. Don’t get caught not using a foundation, impact, ZCO, CRB lolSo if you're from OK, and not using a CRB barrel, will you be forcibly detained and deported?
Any of those should add a plastic bag of Oklahoma moon dust to have more ‘just like home’ feeling to the build…Yes. Don’t get caught not using a foundation, impact, ZCO, CRB lol
Damn….you must be in that “upper-upper” nodeYep, my 7.5 twist stabilizes the 115 DTAC s.
I ran them 3044 fps in my 6 dasher, with 28" barrel. Coated, but no nose ring.
And the 110 SMK group good at 3085 fps.
Yep, all ya gotta do is change powder, depending on the barrel, mine likes to run there.Damn….you must be in that “upper-upper” node![]()
This is going to go over well.Yep, all ya gotta do is change powder, depending on the barrel, mine likes to run there.
Plus it's heavy, with a 4 oz trigger, in an aluminum chassis, almost no recoil, so a 10 yr old child could be an excellent LR shooter with a little practice. Totally fun to shoot and easy to hit with.
In case ya haven't noticed the video on Ultimate Reloader, :308 with the velocity of a 300 magnum, don't do this at home" video, check it out! They are running Bat
action and Alpha brass to past 103,000 psi. The guys who own or represent each company have been doing this for quite awhile.
I have been running 80,000 psi Sig hybrid cases in 308, 6 5 CM, 358 Win, & 8.6 Blackout in Rem 700 and Ruger actions when they first came out.
If ya like the 6.5 CM 140 gr bullets at over 3100 fps in a 24" barrel, these cases may be for you.
The "Optimized Case Design" labeled ones are the ones to use, if venturing past 70,000 psi. plus area.
Just get the Bat action for those extreme excursions into high pressures.
Times are changing, even the military has adopted the 80,000 psi in their machine guns, and full auto rifles.
But it's up to the individual, do it or not, no one cares, but it's there...
So YOU are the guy rifle builders owe a swift kick in the nuts for leading newb shooters on about velocity expectations.Yep, all ya gotta do is change powder, depending on the barrel, mine likes to run there.

Nah, those are just pre-release 6GT numbers........hahaha. Maybe GeorgeG long lost brother???Damn….you must be in that “upper-upper” node![]()
That might be Bruce Thorm owner of Bat Actions and the spokesman for Alpha Brass, plus the guy who runs the Ultimate Reloader web sight. Who used Alpha's special reamers double the price to chamber the 308 Win barrel, then take it to over 100,000 psi...So YOU are the guy rifle builders owe a swift kick in the nuts for leading newb shooters on about velocity expectations.
If I only had a dollar for everytime I heard, "the rifle shoots great, just doesn't get the velocity I expected."

Nice, wade is chambering them?I'll probally start breaking in one over next few weeks. Only 400 on current barrel and its a fucking hammer ( hawk hill 7.5tw 6gt)
Yes Sir! I have ran mostly his barrels the last couple years, but he only does bartliens in M24 and I want a heavier contour. This comp contour looks perfect. 1lb lighter than a strait 1.25" and it finishes at 1.13, so a little bit heavier than a Proof Comp.Nice, wade is chambering them?
I picked up my 6br from him last August and when I finally was ready to load I asked a friend that had the same caliber done up by wade, ran his load data and got bug holes. Stacked them at 500 600 and 700. Have since asked guys I shoot with running same setup and our numbers are the same. Love it.
To even the playing field I just adjust their diopter when they’re not looking![]()
i want to pick up the cbr comp contour for my next barrel. The wade barrel I’m running now still has some life left in it. From the Oklahoma guys running them, the barrels hammerYes Sir! I have ran mostly his barrels the last couple years, but he only does bartliens in M24 and I want a heavier contour. This comp contour looks perfect. 1lb lighter than a strait 1.25" and it finishes at 1.13, so a little bit heavier than a Proof Comp.
If these things shoot anything like my hawk hills, Austin is not going to be able to make these barrels fast enough.
I love Tomato Stakes UnlimitedLOL you nitwits are going back and forth about a business name and google searches when the reality is that the guy is connected and has a reputation, he bought barrel making equipment from someone with a reputation and he'll likely have a several month to half a year or more backlog on blanks before the month is over.
The fact some newb that knows nothing about barrels and probably doesn't want to spend more than ballistic advantage money on a full barrel can't quickly pull the company up on google means jack shit.
This company would sell a crap ton of barrels if they named the business "Tomato Stakes Unlimited"
Thank you, could you please share how much a CRB comp contour barrel, 6mm, actually weights? Waiting on some spun by TS Customs but I would like to guesstimate how much my balance will be affected by these replacing proof compcontour / MTU+ barrels.Yes Sir!

Thank you, can't wait!My proof comp 6gt was 6lbs 4 oz, my crb is 6ibs 13oz. Ts customs did my barrels, and you’ll be very happy with them.
And on the contrary, if you shoot a strikewithout warning tmb, it wont fit over the larger taper without modification.One nice thing about the CRB contour is that if you use an ACE brake it matches up really nicely with it. Looks really sharp.
Exactly, and since I use TMBs and being not a fan of that mod it will be either a Chad or something else...And on the contrary, if you shoot a strikewithout warning tmb, it wont fit over the larger taper without modification.
NopeHas anyone seen any .224 barrels yet?
I am only seeing 6mm+
How did the CRB end up shooting for 6gt?I'll probally start breaking in one over next few weeks. Only 400 on current barrel and its a fucking hammer ( hawk hill 7.5tw 6gt)
Still breaking it in. Trying to kill old barrel but it's going slower than expected. Shooting 6.5cm also doesn't help.How did the CRB end up shooting for 6gt?
Did you contact Austin about this? If you thought there may be an issue with the blank, wouldn't contacting the manufacture be the first step?Not that this has defined results on target, but the two CRB barrels I have done had a disappointing amount of runout down the bore. I am sure they shot fine and I do love a 4 groove barrel.
In my opinion, a straight bore means the cutting tools, fixturing, rigidity, and the material were in a real zen state of manufacture. If installed properly.......that barrel will be one of the best performers and very forgiving.
Ern
I did not contact Austin about this. I feel the amount of runout was not worthy of stopping and requesting a replacement. In truth it was not any worse than other top tier barrel makers on occasion. Like previously mentioned......I am sure they shot fine. I am always hopeful for a super straight barrel with every barrel blank I machine, but you never know until it's in the machine and dialed in.Did you contact Austin about this? If you thought there may be an issue with the blank, wouldn't contacting the manufacture be the first step?
