Still waiting for mine from the labor day saleAre we still on the 8 week time frame for the black friday prefit orders?
what did you order ?Mine was ordered on 11/27/21. Received email it had shipped on Tuesday, 1/11/22. It should arrive tomorrow. 6 weeks, 3 days. Awesome work Bohem!
Still waiting on that reply @bohem.8 weeks.
It's unlikely that the 223 AI will ever be on sale. Popularity is so low for it that never makes the top 10 list, let alone the top 3 list for a given caliber. We run sales for the popular calibers to minimize churn while pumping them out.
I have no plans for that. They're not popular enough to retool the machinery. Technically they're an advantage in the northern hemisphere but they're a disadvantage on the line when everyone else is running RH twist barrels. It's been 10 years of beating that drum, nobody cares.
Thank you!
Please send me an email. We're tyring to catch up on emails after 7 days of up and down internet service. It's been hell on getting communications and emails done.
I just saw your reply this AM, we will get back to you soon. See the connectivity issues mentioned above.
how much did the barrel cost?6GT Osprey ordered 11/29 BF sale delivered today.
Watching for availability on 30 cal Ospreys now.
$590.95 shipped for the BF sale.how much did the barrel cost?
Well with like 40 rounds through my rifle... we started load development. It is a 1-9 28" M24 barrel...
After a 10 shot ladder, I settled on 88.9gr of IMR 8133 in Lapua brass with a GM215 primer and pushing a 225 ELDM at 3037fps. No heavy bolt lift, flat primers or anything beyond a very very slight shadow of a ejector mark.. It has single digit SDs and shot a few great groups under .5"
Got my eye on one, glad its working out for you.Recently got a 26" Osprey Competition contour prefit in 6 Creed to put on my TL3 action. Headspaced perfectly on install. Only took a pic of the paper at 100 during zeroing. The bottom three were shot first and then adjusted and shot the two in the center. Then I went to 300, 400 and 550 for the rest of the first 20 rounds of factory 108 ELDs through the barrel. Sub moa cluster at each. Pretty happy so far. Took it home and cleaned it and it cleaned up pretty easily. Can't wait to do some work with some handloads.

Only have about 300 rounds of factory left and a lot of components so that’s why I will load. Should be hard to duplicate the factory load.shooting factory ammo like that I wouldn’t waste my time loading for it unless I just wanted a different bullet.
And no break in per se, right? Just shot the 20, cleaned, and all is good?Only have about 300 rounds of factory left and a lot of components so that’s why I will load. Should be hard to duplicate the factory load.
Yup. Haven’t done a break in in years as I found them a waste of time after trying multiple types. I clean when I get it and then after the first 3-4 range sessions and it’s broken in. LolAnd no break in per se, right? Just shot the 20, cleaned, and all is good?
Thanks, RobYup. Haven’t done a break in in years as I found them a waste of time after trying multiple types. I clean when I get it and then after the first 3-4 range sessions and it’s broken in. Lol
Lol no I usually wait until I have at least 100 rounds through the barrel before doing any serious loading. I will probably start sooner than that but not lock in a load until after that.Thanks, Rob
And with this new barrel, would you hold off load dev until speed levels off or some # of rounds or fuck that, just go for it. Haha
Not saying right wrong or anything but question is why? I know a lot of people wait for at least 100 Usually waiting for barrel to speed up but just curious on your thoughts?Lol no I usually wait until I have at least 100 rounds through the barrel before doing any serious loading.

I got one standing by if needed.Imagine what it will be able to do with a tuner
Simple as that. Just want to make sure the barrel is normalized in its velocities and then work on the load. I didn't chrono that first outing but will the next to see what the factory load is moving at and keep an eye on changes.Not saying right wrong or anything but question is why?

I received a 22BR OBW barrel recently and just finished putting 200 rounds through it and will now start load development. Guess what... I used those random 200 reloads to fire form brass, season the barrel, and practice out to 800 yards. Now I know where I need to be for my target velocity. Load development should be less than 20 rounds and I am set for the life of the barrel.Not saying right wrong or anything but question is why?

Joe's on vacation and I've been slinging chips hard with Ben the last couple days.@bohem I know you guys are slammed like the rest od the industry. I had a friend call today and couldn't get ahold of anyone and he sent an email. Wanting to know if you pay for the rush will it actually happen? He was looking at a 338 lapua savage setup
Thanks man. I'll let him know. I'll order up a 6gt for an AI in the next week or 2.Joe's on vacation and I've been slinging chips hard with Ben the last couple days.
Right now we're at 4-6 weeks consistently and the rush orders are going out on time. If we miss the time promised the rush fee gets refunded.
We made 30 in march, they were all snapped up by a distributor. We're making more now with the expectation for 30's available for retail in late May to early June.
Great thanks.We made 30 in march, they were all snapped up by a distributor. We're making more now with the expectation for 30's available for retail in late May to early June.
The 7mm 1:8 twists are on the docket for June too.
I'm glad to hear it, thank you!Been having great luck with the two that I have, they have been very easy to load for and clean up quickly.
That's our goal, thank you for giving them a try!The osprey barrels are definitely hammers
Great shooting, @Rob01Was out yesterday doing some load development with the 6mm Osprey in 6 Creed and shot this at 400 yards. Pretty happy with these barrels. The bottom dark is just chipped paint. There are two shots at 4 o'clock on the red dot and three above. Still think I can still do better.
