T/C NutShot the 16.5" 300 Mag. Today Good & Bad New's...
Well I'll give you guy's the
good new's first.I still have all my
TEETH ![[Big Grin]](images/icons/grin.gif)
Recoil with factory 180gr. Corelocks were not bad at all.Yes,it kicked more than the 15" '06 but,not by much.It was more of a push the '06 has more of a twist and sharp crack.With the factory ammo it did show to be a shooter 1 3/4" to 2" groups @100 yards.It may shot better than that as I shoot it more.The factory ammo burned very clean or it all went out the end of the barrel.

Now for the
bad new's I had a dead 9v batt. so I did not get to run it over the chrono

Barrel got hot after two shots I had to let it cool for about 2 to 3mins. cleaned it and shot again.I guess I'll try it again Saturday.I'll post as soon as I can.I do have one thing to add
This is one fun barrel I could shoot it all day and not have to pick up any TEETH. hmmm, i think you're enjoying making us wait

T/C NutMe too.....I hope to get near 2700 fps with 180's do you guys think this can happen.

At any rate I like it!Plus I can't wait to go to the range and sit next to someone when I touch one off

I don't go to the range much I would rather go out in the woods with a rangefinder instead.But I'll have to make a trip the the local range just to show-off
