I got a barrel from Mr. Lilja in August and it was right at the 14 weeks he quoted.

Good luck with your build, sounds like it will be a good one.
How long was the turnaround for the Manson reamer or did they have it in stock? Alan |

Any updates on this project coyotespotter? I'm excited for you and curious about that reamer….barrel, and how it's all coming together. When you say short-throated, can you provide a cartridge base-to-ogive dimension? Also, did you request a specific neck dimension, possibly to the tighter side of SAAMI specs?
The reason I'm asking is because I'm preparing to start on a similar project and I would really like compare my dimensions/plans to your finished product and understand how it's all working for you. Thanks in advance, JB in NC Last edited by Bluesman; 06-27-2016 at 09:30 PM. |

The rifle is assembled, I have not played with load testing. The first load, 26.7 gr h414 was just over 3900 fps with 29 gr Kindler. It is 3 inside .25 inch, most touching and .9-1.0 inch at 300. I loaded to 2.20 col but later in the summer I will play around at 2.21 or 2.22. The reamer is minimal saami spec..,with a shortened freebore per Dave's suggestion. I will bump the charge up the 27.0 and see how that performs. All old rounds I ran through have been less than 6/10 inch and very close to same poi.
