Which barrel should I get?

[Dhbwa]

Bartlein is never the wrong answer. Just pick the one you want - I'd go CF wrapped I sure like the one I have and am weeks away from my 2nd build with a Bart CF 7MM barrel.

This......

My 7mm Blaser wears a Hart fluted #4 finished at 26 less brake. I'm pretty sure the brake is threaded 5/8-24. My "go to" barrels have always been Krieger and Hart but Bartlein makes an excellent barrel and Frank Green has always quickly answered every single one of my questions so my next barrel will most likely be a Bartlein.

I have really liked my proof CF barrels, from your list I would go with the bartlein CF then the carbon six if it were my decision. Everybody has there own opinion on what works and what don't, good luck with your rifle.

Good to know, thank you. We loads are you running out of it? Velocity? I imagine its very accurate?

175s were just over 3000 with RL26.
I just switched to 195 eols loaded to 3.2" oal.
I was getting 2900 with RL26 in Hornady brass, I got some pressure signs on the 2nd loading so dropped down the 2850.
I've shoot a few 2" groups at 800 yards with this combo

The first 4 shots at 200 I was screwing with my zero.
Then I shot the 2 round cold bore group in the center.
Forgive the quirky target.. it was blowing and snowing so I improvised

Man 3000fps with a 175 in a 22” is screaming. I didn’t ramp up my 168s a ton but I was getting 2850fps. Glad to hear about the accuracy. I may need to swap to a DBM so I can run longer COALs. . 2.860” is really limiting.

Here's the answer to your question about the accuracy of Carbonsix barrels, this was a good friends 10 shot ladder test @ 100 yards. His first test load was a 4 shot group sub 1/4 MOA. Needless to say I now have a .284 Carbonsix barrel blank that's gonna be chambered in 7wsm as well and spun into a Defiance anTi XM hopefully sometime soon!

My 7mm Blaser wears a Hart fluted #4 finished at 26 less brake. I'm pretty sure the brake is threaded 5/8-24.

Hart #4 finishes at .650" at 26". The major thread diameter of 5/8"-24 is 0.623" so you'd essentially have nothing for a brake to index against.

benchmark,bartlien you will never be able to shoot the difference.if you have a benchmark already.why not get the same ?

 

[JoeDirt]

What type of groups have you been able to achieve with the carbon six?

Caliber/specs?

I never tried shooting descent groups, Sako A7 20" 6.5 PRC 7 twist. Zeroed and shot better than 1 MOA with the factory 143 ELD-X then went right to a 1000 yards. Seemed better than 1 MOA. The 146 ELD-M was a slightly larger group.

Sorry Anything under 1" MOA is good for hunting and thats all i care about.

I was impressed with the Carbon Six out of the box I never had to re zero my rifle changing the barrels from 300 win mag to 6.5 PRC at 100 yards. Maybe I was just lucky but my first 5 shots were spot on.

Right now I have a McGowen, I am taking a look at some others.
