Didn't have much time this evening but I got the barrel chucked up and dialed in, threading takes the most time the chambering goes fast with the flush system and it will be considerably faster than the RUM reamers I've been pushing

Gotta fresh supply of 160gr Matrix, new barrel and a brand spanking new wildcat to test this weekend, everybody happy, happy, happy

I know you can't rush perfection, but I am getting a little antsy in my pantsy if you catch my drift.

I think 28-29"?

OK, had a minor delay with the go gauge but I forged ahead, like there was another option We have 28.5 in of barrel, I plan on cutting it back at least once or twice to get a feel for barrel length vs velocity with this case. Tomorrow I case prep and fire form and Sunday we get serious if everything holds to plan gun)

Mid chambering pic.

Trying a new type of crown, recessed 11 degree target crown.

Barrel hooked up on my test mule Savage model 12.
