I have a McGowan 338 federal barrel for a Tikka T3 in the Tikka D18 contour, 18 inches long, with 5/8 muzzle threads. Weight is 2lb 3.3oz.
There's about 60 rounds down it.
Throated a bit long for the 200gr apex afterburner for a COAL of 2.985.
2615fps with that bullet.
I also have 90 pieces of starline unfired brass, and 10 pieces fired 2x each. The other 40 shots were federal factory loads that I'm not sure what happened to that brass.
Redding Deluxe die set.
$600 for all of it.
