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) of the 134 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 available first to barrel buyer, then may be listed separately).
Asking $700 for the barrel, dies and brass. ($425 for the barrel, plus $275 for the dies and brass- dies and brass were just over $400 new; dies barely been used and have a .284 bushing with them, plus 50 of the brass is unused). Talk to me about a local sale and we can figure something out on the RL26.
Would like to get $1,150 for the action.
Grayboe stock and bottom metal could go for $700
Shipping costs would need to be discussed
Thanks,
Jonathan
