One thing I didn't consider was needing new brass with a new custom barrel. I had some loads from my old barrel and was gonna break in the barrel and they wouldn't even fit in the chamber , and of course brass is hard to find , i normally use winchester and all I could find was hornady brass at twic...

Jim
Did you like steves work ? I work with a long range target shooter that holds i believe 5 world records and he claims steve is the best there is

Steves first thought was a Lilja barrel but also liked pac nor among others , I am leaning towards pac nor

I have a strong recommendation for a gunsmith in chehalis Washington , Steve kostanich,
is only 1 1/2 hrs for my house and I wouldn't have to ship the rifle to Lilja or pac nor
The lilja barrel I can get now the pac nor is 16-18 weeks out which isn't a deal breaker

I have my .204 and my sons in need of new barrels and I have narrowed it down to pac nor or a lilja barrel any thoughts ? Rick highly recommends the pac nor and I am also consoldering getting both one for each gun , am I thinking to much ? Just want to make the right choice

My season is probably done I got 3 trips in this year so I am happy I have a .204 with a shot up barrel and prior commitments that will end my season

Great rat crop this year it's so hard to conserve ammo when there out so much I avg 500 rounds a day

You got to love the spring !!!
Thanks for info on the barrel Rick !!
