    Finally got a chance to get behind the srs. Did some barrel break in with my 223 conversion. Really liking this platform so far.

    I haven't personally but it is a proven cartridge and is likely the biggest 30 cal you could feed from the mag in a srs. I have a 300NM that I am about to start playing with, but its a 18" barrel.

    This is my A2, scale reads 8lb 10.1oz. Its a 18" 300NM proof barrel with a flutted shank and a CA titanium brake and a 9 slot aluminum rail on the handgard. I don't see how you can get any lighter than this unless you remove the monopod. Hard to add less than 2lb to that number for an optic and...

    It depends on your elevation and temp. Also just because there not tumbling doesn't mean your BC isn't being degraded. What I was getting at is if you are leaning towards heavy bullets and your getting a new barrel why not go 1 in 8 there is no down side to a little extra twist.

    It depends what bullets you want to run. If you were leaning towards heavy like the 230 and 250 atip or even the 225 eldm I would get a 1in 8

    If you are in the heavy end of that range would use N570. N565 would be better in the lower end of those bullet weights or even lighter. N570 is an excellent powder that is pretty temp stable and gives max velocity but you will pay with barrel life.

    Figured I would show off SAC's beautiful work. I haven't had time to play with this rig yet but I love the feel of it.

    I finally received my A2 covert and conversions from SAC. Everything looks amazing. Now just waiting on my nx8 4-32. Once hunting season is over I will get a chance to play with the new toys.

    A 300 lapua pushing 250 atips would do well at a mile

    How have the Atips been performing for you. I wanted to try them in my Norma Mag but I am a little gun shy from some experiences with eldm's

    What powder and charge weight did you end up with for the 77's? I will work up my own load but just curious where you landed.
