I went with 300nm. Supposedly longer life and more velocity than wm and I was able to find FGMM for $35/boxI was in between the 300 Norma and the 300 WinMag. Have you had good luck with the 300 Lapua Improved?

A few guys on here received their barrels not to long ago. I ordered one a week ago that the website said was in stock, still no shipping info yet. Was going to email him next week. Eric is a great guy and works hard to put out a great product.So no one has received anything from him for a long time? Time to dispute the charges abs get money back?
I sent 3 emails over the last 2 months asking for status? Have not heard a word.I am waiting on a rifle build as well. Sadly I have not heard from him in a while.
What twist did you get and what bullet weights are you shooting. .300 prc is going to be my next purchase.He’s slow and bad at deadlines but his barrels are great. I ordered a lightweight .300 prc barrel from him in July and got it in early October.

That pattern is awesome. Might be quicker than you think. Please post a pic when you get it.
I’ve been thinking about a covert handguard. Are they available anywhere?
Awesome. Thank you.I just messaged Desert Tech about there handguard availability. Im looking to get a full length handguard. They said they have them in stock and you can order through them.
Hard to say since those are starting loads. I will see where pressure is and then of course where it wants to shoot. I think realistically it will likely push the 230 atip at 2650 to 2750.Are those velocities out of the 18” 300 Norma what you expected?
How does the 18” 300 Norma compare with the velocities of the factory 18” 300 Win Mag barrels?
There is defiantly more blast than my 300 NM in a standard rifle with a 26" barrel but its not bad for the shooter. If cans were legal in canada I would have one for sure.As a point of comparison, I get 2500fps out of an 18" factory DTA .338LM barrel shooting 300gr projectiles, whereas the same load in the 26" barrel is about 2750fps.
The short magnums can be fun to shoot, and obviously an SRS with an 18" barrel is VERY maneuverable and handy, but the blast can be a bit of an issue (at least that's what I found over the years). Using a suppressor mitigates the blast and is probably one of the best reasons to even have a short magnum, however a lot of suppressors aren't rated for the crazy pressures you get with such short barrels. So it can be a bit of a conundrum.
Just bought one from Special Purpose Rifles over the weekend. Should be here in a few days. Looking forward to seeing how it works out.Posted up a wtb but figured I would ask here too. Anyone know where I could purchase a rrs arca rail?
Thanks
Thanks for pointing that out. Your right. I’m pretty sure it’s PRC thar has more barrel life than WM300 Norma has better barrel life than 300 win mag?
Very hard to say. I like the A1 trigger better. But I have a 22.5” 6.5 creed with proof research barrel that I love in my A2 because it’s so lightweight. I also prefer the mlok rail on the A2. I guess I lean toward the A2, unless you plan to spend all your time on the range, in which case the weight of the A1 is an advantage.
Rails on the bottom is no problem but the barrel is quite a bit closer to the top of the handguard.A2 owners. If I have a pic rails attached to the mlok slots on the hand guard will I have able to do barrel changes, or will I need to remove the rails to put in/pull out barrels?
It should be ok even with proof research carbon barrels. That said, wirh a proof barrel on my A2, I can’t use the integral QD sling swivel pointsRails on the bottom is no problem but the barrel is quite a bit closer to the top of the handguard.
Anyone running any of the Sherman Short Mags? Experiences?
Looking at the 6.5 or 338.
@pinhead any Possibility you know what offset the amount is on your elite iron bipod. Which model aluminum or steel
I updated the post above with weights.
@joemusso
I looked up my order from Elite Iron. It was pricey but worth it. So much better than the Atlas.
I switched to Elite iron about a year ago. Such a stable bipod. Pricey, but damn good.
