So I got my torque wrench from DTA and it didn't come with the 5mm adapter (wtf)? So what do I need to get at the hardware store to make this thing work?

Who owns a $6000 dollar weapon system and doesn't have a socket set in the garage?

Our soft cases will fit in our hard cases without foam yes.
good idea. everybody loves to show off. so far what ive accomplished with my dta rifle is un-boxing it.Maybe everyone can do a show and tell of what they have accomplished with their DTA rifles?![]()

So, I got my A1 covert with 22" 308 and 26" 338 and I am feeling like I a missing out a bit on a covert length barrel. Seems a bit excessive to have a 308 in two lengths.. But I want a shorty. 1st world problems.
I picked 32" because of this article:
Lilja Precision Rifle Barrels - Articles: Barrel Lenghts and Velocities in the 338/378 Weatherby Magnum
I realize it is outdated and not for the .338 Lapua, but rather the .338/378 Weatherby Magnum, but what the hell.
Also, I used a 9.5" twist from Benchmark (I love me some Benchmark).
Now then, why do you like 29" with a 9" twist?
Thanks for the reply,
Ty

This should inspire a non-photoshop DTA/hot girl photo contest. Maybe Nick will throw us a bone for a prize![]()
Currently I have been playing with a 22" 1-8" twist suppressed 22-250. It slings 80 SMK at 3300 FPS at about 1/4 MOA at 100. It is a hammer out to 1000 yards, and I like it so much that I have had to tune it down to 3100 FPS for comp shoots. Also getting 3800 FPS out of 55 V-max accurately for the coyotes (that is now one more rifle that my DTA has replaced).
I have a 7WSM DTA barrel and am trying to work up a Berger 168 load.
Since I cant get a dummy Hornady lock and load guage for this caliber, I dont know the chamber length.
Does anyone know the COAL for a berger 168 contacting the lands in a DTA 7 WSM?
Thanks!
I just recieved my 7wsm barrel from Mark at SAC and it looks amazing, definitely top notch work and attention to detail. it is a Bartlein 1:9 threaded 5/8"-24(so i can run my30P-1 when it clears ATF) with a APA little bastard brake that was turned down to match the contour.
That all being said Does anybody have some load advice/experience shooting 180vld hybrids w/H1000 int their DTA 7wsm?

Sorry to distract from this productive conversation, but i was wondering if anybody noticed better repeatability when you install your barrels you tighten the side screws down in a consistant order.
I dont have my DTA yet (i hear maybe 2 weeks). I'm not sure the barrel will come installed and i was wondering if i should be paying attention to the order i tighten the screws.
I do it the same way Frank. Gradually increase the torque and spread it out in an alternating pattern.
Like you said, probably doesnt matter but I learned that building engines a long time ago....just makes me feel better.
Oh, I wanted to contact you about a .338BR barrel....can you PM me with the best way to reach you?
Have you ever used any of Lehighs payload bullets in one of your rigs?
Thanks.
My Covert with a couple of Mark's SAC barrels - both are 22.5" 1:9.5 338 Lapua the other 1:8 6.5x47 Lapua going to shoot it tomorrow...

ive seen 16" 338 coverts. i would expect a 22" 338 to be fine at 1500 yds. maybe coldbore will chime in here, he has a lot of experience shooting 16" 338 and knows what kind of performance you can expect.
