Thoughts on custom build list?

[dskav]

thanks guys!

good point, i haven't had a hand-lapped barrel before (i ended up getting a criterion for the barrel nut system ease of install/swap).  i've always just followed the mfg suggested break-in procedure in full - how can you tell when it's broken in short of completing the process?  just when it stops copper fouling?

Yes very little to no copper build up and it's really easy to clean.
And if I may suggest... The mPro7 line- copper remover and bore gel. Trust me!!! the more it's used the easier it becomes to clean bore. Best stuff I've found to date, hands down.

yea after the recent thread on MPro7 i picked up some of their copper remover   haven't looked at the bore gel because i still have a good amount of the gunslick foaming bore cleaner left but i'll give it a shot when i run out

 we can all thank Rainier for the m-pro 7 stuff,
he knew i was hardheaded and wouldnt change from my solvents so he up and sent me some- once i saw for myself under the larry willis borescope what REALLY WORKED and WHAT DIDNT it was an easy change and i have been preaching it ever since, they even sell it at walmart here.
 i pick up some quiet regularly in case they stop carrying it i wont have to order it. GREAT STUFF !!

had a chance to get to the range and break her in this weekend.  wind was extremely strong and gusty so that wasn't great, but didn't go too bad.  my best 5-round groups are below. (100yds)

one slight issue i'd like to hear from you guys on - of the 58rds of factory hornady 120gr amax i put thru it, one round refused to chamber.  the rest chambered just fine.  do you think my headspace needs adjustment?  i plan on pulling the one that wouldn't chamber and run it thru the sizing die to see if that solves it

Can you compare the culprit to a round that will easily chamber? I'd suspect an oddball case in the factory ammo if all the others chambered no problem.

my calipers are on loan to a friend right now but when i get them back i'll check it out using the hornady headspace gauge
