I changed mine to a 7 SAUM with a McGowen barrel so I am good.I agree that they should use a 1-10” at a minimum, however, what bullet do you want to shoot that won’t stabilize in the 1-11”?
High BC Monos over about 150gr. Even the Barns are into the marginal territory for monos. (SG under 2.0)What bullets do you think won’t stabilize from a 1-11” twist 30cal?
You ever get a response? I didn't. My barrel is at a local gunsmith currently.I also sent a picture to McGowen of my brass from a prefit chamber. Crickets for 2 weeks now. They were also less than helpful when I called with some questions prior to ordering. Both prefit McGowens I've use have been very accurate. That being said I recently helped order 2 prefits from Preferred Barrels. Their customer service was WAYYY better. If the barrels are as good and I won't order from mcgowen again.
Mine shoots fine also. I'm not going to throw a fit, but I probably won't order from them again.I never did either. The rifle shoots really well so I'm not going to worry about it. I won't buy another one though.
Meh.I was wondering what you guys have experienced with Mcgowen barrels.
I bought a 7 SAUM from them. My load development with 162’s resulted in 3-shot groups that were over 2”.
I tried 184’s and ended up with 3 shot groups that were barely under an inch.
I had expected better performance from a “custom” barrel. However, my expectations may be unrealistic.
I would like to hear some others guys experiences lately, because I am debating about ordering another barrel from them.
I cannot complain about the barrel itself. It has been very accurate. Actually it has probably been the easiest load development I've ever done. It is the customer service that I am not happy with. Dan, the guy that answers the phone and emails hasn't been helpful at all in my experiences with him.Ya, I was going to order a McGowan on the next rifle, but I'm really not sure now.
Yeah, I'm very satisfied with the accuracy and workmanship on my barrel, also. But I have do agree with your assessment of Dan. He is not very personable or helpful, and probably isn't the best fit for his position.I cannot complain about the barrel itself. It has been very accurate.
