Did you call and talk to Jon Aadland? That is what I did. Got mine within 3 days of talking with him.
I had been emailing with him. He doesn't have any in stock and is hoping to get some in soon.

Holy crap!! please do tell more. Got any pics of that cartridge?
Usually a .338 LM cut down, and a shoulder turned into the case for head-spacing.
Other option is a cut down 7mm WSM case, usually they are setup to head-space on the case mouth.

Its most likely a 500/510 whisper clone.

I've been considering having one done for the DTA as well, just trying to decide which path to go down. The WSM is much more interesting as the brass forming is a simple trim operation. The .338 requires a lathe to put the step into the case.
50 BMG projectiles at subsonic velocities are very interesting... because of the low speed, the wind drag, and velocity loss is VERY low, and down range energy is much better than some other subsonic options. However, with a V of 1000 FPS, the drop is huge as the range goes long.
It works better then it mounting to the barrel. Despite claims that it doesn't have any affect on POI... well 6 inches for me on my Remington 308 was enough to piss you off doing some OCW tests.Has anyone used a Magnetospeed on their SRS. I'm looking at getting a V3 but am wondering how well it will work on the 22" .308 barrel.
Thanks
My experience is there is a shift. I'm still at work but I will send pics soon. I have the version 2.Thanks for the info guys. Waveslayer pics would be great. I was wondering about the harmonics when you strap something on the barrel. I guess when I put it on my .260 barrel the POI will be off

That and no left handed rifles either, but I'd suffer if he made a lefty and didn't have ten round mags !The only downside is the lack of 10 round mags
I am wondering if anyone knows who the barrel manufacturer is for DTA barrels?
Dry fire is safe and a good way to practice fundamentals and trigger controlDoes anyone know of it's safe to dry fire these? I just got my chassis tonight but don't wanna wreck it. I read in the book but it doesn't say.
Has anyone tried Benchmark barrels that they offer for DTA platform rifles?
I've got one spun up by TS Customs that shoots damn goodHas anyone tried Benchmark barrels that they offer for DTA platform rifles?
We have several in stock. Laser beams!Has anyone tried Benchmark barrels that they offer for DTA platform rifles?
Yeah, when it's mounted on the barrel you do get a POI shift, which in turn just made me do my initial load development without a chrono. Once I get in the ballpark I start running the chrono to get an idea of where I am and if I need to go back to the drawing board. Wrapping it around the handguard mitigates that issue though.
I hope this answers your question. The Magnetospeed will cause a POI shift. So he doesn't use it until later down the road. But with the SRS chassis I hook it up to it and have no contact with the barrelAssuming that the POI shift is consistent (and why shouldn't it be?), it shouldn't affect the grouping - which in my understanding is what the load development is about?
Would appreciate clarification/explanation.
TNX!

Yes you are correct. Let's just say on Monday I did an OCW test and found 3 good loads. I pack up my goodies and head to work to pay for the illegals. I go home and do another load work up using my 3 loads and maybe some loads in between. Well when I reattach the Magnetospeed it will change the POI because when I unhooked the Magnetospeed it is pretty hard and almost impossible to have it in the same exact spot with the same exact torque when I did the original OCW test.In my understanding, load development is finding the best-grouping load. Thus, if the POI shift is consistent (e.g., every shot is 1" down and 1/2" left), why would it affect the group size and therefore the development?
So the factory barell muzzle thread pitch is 3/4x24 but is there also an ISO standard to consider?

Well I decided since I had to remove the skins to take out the old spring catch I might as well go ahead and modify the skins to accept the new pad assembly. I actually done the bolt stop myself as well instead of buying a new one.
Nick and Orkan,
Thanks for your help. I was able to get the A1 buttstock onto my Gen2 skins.
Nick,
The new design of the buttpad is nice. It is easier to put on and especially take off the gun, but it is still secure/solid on the gun. Well done.
I will post my pictures of where I made the dremel cut for buttstock here. I can delete these if you decide to put some up. I SUCK at stuff like this, so forgive the hack job. If folks have a vise to hold the skin, it will make your job much easier, and cleaner.
The buttock is very secure, and goes on and off easily.
All,
TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I am not advising that anyone do this. I am just showing that it is doable.
Finished Job:
View attachment 40292 View attachment 40293 View attachment 40294
Starting out:
Mark the top of the tab/hook on the buttstock with a sharpie or some sort of marker.
View attachment 40308
Line up the buttstock to the skins and lift the buttstock up so your cut is marked.
View attachment 40309
Take the skin off the gun. While you are doing this, remove the old buttstock latch, and store it with your old buttstock. You won't need it with the new buttstock.
Finish marking your cuts.
View attachment 40320
Make your cuts. Cut conservatively, then open up your cut to match the buttstock hook.
View attachment 40319
This was the cut when I was getting close to being finished. I smoothed out the lines before I was done.

You can check the fit without putting the skins back on the gun. Just slide the buttstock on the skin This is one of the times I was checking the fit. This was close, but not quite there.

This is a closeup of the buttstock hook, in the skins.

Please tell me what all is involved in this swap. Unfortunately I've almost grown out of love with my DTA cause of this issue. After too many rounds it really beats me up.
What parts are needed ?
Will this work with the gen 1 skins ?
I don't use a bolt stop currently, do I need one ?
Yes you are correct.......when I reattach the Magnetospeed it will change the POI because when I unhooked the Magnetospeed it is pretty hard and almost impossible to have it in the same exact spot with the same exact torque when I did the original OCW test.
waveslayer said:So what happened to me in real life was doing some load work ups on my 308 and Grendel. Well I would take the Magnetospeed on and off to let the barrel cool on my 308 and I would be shooting my Grendel... I experienced amazing shifts in my POI. So it trashed my OCW test. I had to do it all over again.
Does that make sense?
You are correct on all ends. But you missed the part where I stated I took it off and on between guns to let the barrels cool. Which caused 3 different POI's thus affecting the group size. And yes I know what a OCW test is used for, lol that made me laugh.Yes, certainly. Many reported that Magnetospeed would shift the POI, and it is highly unlikely that one can repeatedly mount Magnetospeed in such a way as to keep the POI the same between the sessions. So what? You are not zeroing the rifle with it, are you? You're just shooting for the groups.
Honestly, no.
It makes a lot of sense that you experienced a lot of POI shift. But OCW is not about the POI - it's only about the group size. And so far there hasn't been any complaint that Magnetospeed affects the group size either way, AFAIK. If this is not correct (and you experienced group size change based on where/how your Magnetospeed was attached), please let me know.
So IMHO - instead of trashing your OCW tests, you could just measure the resulting groups and figure which node suits you best.
No stress. Figured, trust me it was a good lesson learned. Bummer on all the time spent on the reloads. I was scratching my head and saying. This gun must hate theses loads... it is funny now.Now I understand. I indeed missed the "taking it on and off during the OCW session" part. My apologies, and you're right.
