I bought it (very lightly) used, few hundred rounds on it. I’m up in Canada and ordering a new kit from SAC is a pain in a** and there’s one distributor who sells them up here and they price them quite high. And they only offer 18-22” barrels, wanted a longer one.
There are already bullets for 338 that require 1:8.5 MINIMUM, so 1:9 is too slow of a twist for whats already available.
Goto JBM balistics, and calculate with your chosen bullet/speed, what does 50-100 FPS difference do at your intended ranges. Faster is always better at long range. Less drop/drift, the question only you can answer is the extra X inches of barrel worth it at the target.
I've got the factory 26" 1:10 conversion , no issues running 285's and 300gr OTM's / EHHello all - looking for some input on a 338 norma barrel. With length & weight not being of great concern (within reason) This will just be for steel & turning rocks to gravel at extended ranges as my ability grows. Would it be worth having a faster twist (9....) to accommodate future bullet designs? How about length - worth doing say 30" to get the extra velocity without having to push components as hard and still take advantage of the round? Probably overthinking or would the factory DT 26" 10 twist do just fine for the majority of what's available? Been collecting components and figure I'll start with the norma brass H-1000 and 285 eld-m. Thanks for the input
I don't know if he still makes them but I bought magazine pouches and barrel bags for my SRSA1 from @softcock. He made pouches and bags for other applications. I would reach out to him.
Good to know. Do you think it’s worth trying anything heavier like 85/88gr with the 26” barrel? Or just stick to 75’s and keep it simple
Appreciate the thoughts. This kit will just be my cheap to load, low recoil fun barrel for general shooting on steel out to probably 800 max. Maybe the odd the coyote and I don’t shoot to save fur. Anything further than 800(or more energy required) I’ll use the the 30-06 or 338.
Not extortion, just delay. He sounds scared to meet Nick in his comments. Nick has been trying to get him to meet and even responded back to 3 of the claims. I think the big issue now is how many people were fired or layed off. BF is saying 75%, the number he got from a disgruntled ex employee. Nick is saying more like 15% so I don't know. My problem with this is, BT put the video out and even said he should've talked to DT before hand. Now he's scared to meet. Loses all credibility to me. He's just making excuses not to meet.
But yes, Nick should do his own video. So many haters though. I hope Desert Tech pulls through.
I do not. Just using my common sense. If you post a video about my company and I offer multiple times to bring you to my company for a interview and you keep making excuses not to, yea I'm not with that.
I hear ya. I'm majorly invested in tbe HTI platform. I have a ton of spare parts just because I wanted them. I hope they pull thru though. We have enough going against the firearm industry.

Wait a sec. Your running an Arken on your HTI? What happened to your NF and Schmidt Bender?Just coming up to 1700 rounds on the Factory CheyTac barrel...still going strong!!
Arken EP5 7- 35 .. Standing in for some Alpha Glass
2 6-36,s initially....then my 2 10-60,s lasted 12 rounds between them..
Just curious, did you ever try a Vortex Razor on your HTI’s when you used the .50 BMG barrel?
No, the Vortex is one of the few scopes i have never tried , but hear lots of goods things about!
Where is this mate? looks like familiar territoryJust set up a target plate at 2800yds...
One of my back paddocks.... Couple of gully's over from my main range..
Beautiful part of the world mate. I’ve been down that way a heap of times. I grew up at the base of Mt BullerOne of my back paddocks.... Couple of gully's over from my main range..
To be exact....Connors Hill , Windy Ridge , Swifts Creek , Victoria , Aus..
Small world ....
If ever your this way again ... yell out !!Very rarely now I’m up in QLD. Have got mates who can take you sambar hunting anywhere you like around there, and fly fishing if you’re into that as wellSmall world ....
Sambar...
That’s an absolute juggernaut mate. I’ve only ever shot one close to that size, was so old he had about 3 teeth in his head and these were the antlers that came off him. Bloody heavy bastard, I doubt he would have survived another season.
