Got this preferred barrel blanks barrel this spring. Started load development on it and got busy with other things... Now getting the itch for something new (again). Barrel showed promise, but I did very little load development with it.
It's 18" long, #2 Sporter (I feel like it's slightly heavier than that), 5R 1-7 twist, shouldered for a bighorn TL3 OR origin with a HLR recoil lug. Chambered with the SST "B" reamer. Threaded 5/8x24. Shooting 134 eld-m bullets it should out perform a 24" 6.5 creed easily, in a shorter, cooler package.
It has 76 rounds through it. I have Sherman dies and brass- 50 count of the brass is new, the other 50 has been fire formed and 20 odd pieces have 2 firings on them. I also have 224 eld-m bullets I could sell with it.
The one caveat is that the barrel engraving for some reason lines up on the right side of the action, upside down. They basically engraved it 180⁰ off. Slightly irritating, but doesn't affect anything whatsoever.
I also have about 7.5 lbs of RL26 I would sell with it if it's a local sale in North Central PA (powder not available separately at this time).
I would consider sale of the barreled action under the right circumstances as well... Only trades I'm interested in are 300 RUM or possibly a 28 nosler at this time... Really interested in a RUM. Can discuss barrel, barreled action, or complete rifle for the right trade.
Asking $450 for the barrel, plus $300 for the dies and brass (they were just over $400 new, and have barely been used, plus 50 of the brass is unused). Talk to me about a local sale and we can figure something out on the RL26.
Thanks,
Jonathan
