Got mine from a dealer in SD and it had a long throat and wouldn't shoot very good. It was a rechambered 7 Mauser. I bought a Krieger sporter match grade sporter weight barrel and had Dave Kiff at PTG make me a reamer with a shorter throat. I can send you the reamer print if you wish. I had issues with getting Barnes to shoot under 3/4" and shelved it for a year for other projects. Then I found Hammer bullets! This rifle came alive with Hammers, keeping groups in the .5-.6 area with several powders I tested. I also found PPU brass to be very good brass and priced well. I find it similar to my 284 Win. but will match 284 speeds with less powder, given the same bullet. YMMV
