1K live fire rounds on my daughters 7mm-08 and 50 on mine (just got it in this weekend). Both have 26” MTU contour Osprey barrels. Aside from the nitride showing wear at the back of the bolt, no other signs. There is a faint ring at the very back of the bolt. The bolt runs smooth and we haven’t...
We ran the 300 grain SMK’s over 89.7 grains of Retumbo and got 2,760 FPS with no pressure signs. I’d start closer to 86 grains with the OTM’s and work up. YMMV
I’ve played WAY over what they have listed and way over what I’m sure Alliant would list. I had 2885 FPS with a 300 grain SMK from a 26” barrel. That proved to be a little harsh on the brass. Can’t say that any of it produced viable groups though.
@Deep South Tactical had a 7 day rifle deal running on here under commercial sales. Not sure about the pricing but the 7 day turnaround may still be in play. Might check out the 7 day rifle website. They turned out a pair of 338 Norma’s for us that shoot lights-out.
