K&P 32” 1:8 twist 375 RUM barrel for TL3 short action. Muzzle threaded 3/4x20. 1.35” diameter shank for ~5.5” and then tapered to 1.1”. Has flats machined into the barrel for easy changing with switch barrel setup. Chambered by Michael DeLoach of 9 Run Gun. Weighs 8lbs 7oz.
You read that right. Poor man’s Cheytac. This is a 375 RUM barrel that I had cut for my TL3 short action to shoot ELR. If you are looking for the most affordable way to get into ELR, no question this is it. This barrel shoots the 390gr A-tip at ~ 2820fps w/ 105.3gr N570 into ~1/2 MOA (see pic below shot at 300 yards). Before I did this I called Zermatt and Ray said go for it, the action can handle it…so I did. Supersonic to 2450 yards at a DA of 5000ft…I got greedy and wanted even more out of it, and had it throated a little longer but it didn’t like it. SAMMI spec was fine, so I set the barrel back an inch (from 33” down to 32”) and now it has a fresh chamber in it that I’ve never even shot. I suspect it will be just like it was before…which was awesome.
Hornady Dies with micrometer seater.
74 pieces of Norma Brass. Started life as 300 RUM and necked up for 375 RUM. (Just as an FYI if you’re wondering, 375 RUM ADG brass pressured out early and gave me a weird bolt click and signs of incipient case head separations. Usually ADG brass is the opposite of that but this happened in 2 separate batches so I recommend using Norma brass. In this instance it’s WAY better).
Want to sell as a package. $550/shipped. If someone wants to shoot the 390gr A tip, I have several hundred (not sure exactly how many) that I could work into the deal. Otherwise will sell separately after barrel etc sells.
Thanks,
Chase
