One of my Rem 700's worked over by Kampfeld.

Kampfeld does great work, but do yourself a favor and have the barrel manufacturer flute the barrel. This way you are guaranteed there won't be any issues with bore dimension or induced stress. If you want an unfluted barrel, I think I have a med palma that will finish out at 29".:yeah:
Post by: Biggerhammer on February 20, 2015, 02:39:23 PM
You might want to check here for premium barrels on hand see if you can find one you like fluted or have it fluted after the fact.
This is where I purchase my barrels without having the wait. They get barrels in regularly, so keep checking back or give them a call. Hard to beat the prices also for on hand barrels.

Thanks for all the help guys Im change gears slightly and I'm gonna go the 6.5 stw route. I already ordered the barrel and dies and tomorrow I'm headed to the gunshow to look for stw brass to neck down. :tup:
Cool wildcat! Take a look at some of the heavy Matrix VLD bullets.

Simpson knew what he was doing when he designed that round! What barrel did you go with? You should have a flat shooter when done with slightly longer barrel life then the 26 Nosler or any of the Wildcats based on the ultra mag cases! :tup:

I ended up going with a 26" finished length bartlien barrel I'm probably gonna end up topping it off with a muscle brake. Hopefully have it up and running in time to find a spring bear in Idaho. Hammer I've been eyeing the matrix's already I have a buddy who has been trying them in his 26 nosler.
Great choice in the muzzle brake and the 160 Matrix should flat HAMMER a bear! Several of us push them with a Ultra Magnum case, with some pretty faaaaaaast results. :)

Who would waste their time or money on an overbore 6.5! Think of the barrel life!!!!!!!!!! :chuckle:
Good choice on the 6.5 STW. Good luck with the brass though!

We all know that your numbers are GROSSLY over stated and probably just made up. :chuckle: Next you'll be telling people that you can launch one of those 160gr Matrix bullets at over 3400 fps and make the 26 Nosler look like a 6.5x47 Lapua. :tup:

Some have to see it to believe it, most are to busy reading about barrel life rather than bank rolling the componants to wear one out as fast as they can so they have a excuse to rebarrel to another grossly over bore wildcat cartridge. :chuckle:
I'll pass on the 6.5x47, I'm not the soft recoil sensitive type. :chuckle:

8mm Magnum brass will do just fine necked down.

Or you can just buy 7mm stw nosler brass for the same price :chuckle:
I just finished a semi custom 7mm stw. 7mm stw brass can be very hard to find and when you do find it, it's pretty dang expensive. Nosler makes some great brass and you can find it on midway and a lot of other places.

Ordered my brake today and scored on about 75 brass and couple lbs of H-1000 and a lb US 869. Man I can't wait to piece this together
Looks like your getting it all worked out. Let us know how it goes. :tup:

Hammer where do you order your matrix's from? the box my buddy has he bought from a local shop. I found them on their website but was wondering if there was a better place to get them.
Thanks caleb
Benchmark Barrels in Arlington carries the Matrix line, call and see if they have what you need in stock. I order mine straight from Matrix in Canada. I order in bulk to make the shipping worth while. If you just want to try some to see if they shoot for you, let me know when your ready to rock and I'll send you some on me.

I love any cartridge than can use US 869; that's when you know you're having fun! Muscle brakes are hard to beat when you get up into that sort of case capacity. You should be very happy!
I ordered my Matrix bullets direct from the shop in Canada and I had them in less than a week. I really need to get around to ordering some of the heavy 270 bullets to try too!.
