1:8 twist 204 barrel manufacturers

Stiller predator, #2 fluted benchmark, mcmillan edge tech stock and a 1lb jewell. Factory bdl bottom metal. Had the reamer made off 2 dummy roumds i sent to Kiff with 55 bergers.

Built 2 others all the same except pac nor barrels. Imr4350 has worked well.

Remington 204 factory barrels are 1:9 twist. How close are they really to the 1:9 twist? If i rechambered a factory barrel, do yuo think itll work with the 55 gr bergers?

Aren't Remington barrels twisted 1:12? Some of them seem to struggle stabilizing 40gr V-Max's.

What are you using for your reloading set up? I was thinking of going through todd kindler to get all that stuff.

Or maybe order a set of custom dies, if thats possible.
 
Not KJC but I just use Redding 22/250 bushing dies with a couple of different size bushings to neck down the brass and use the 22/250 seat die to seat bullets I get very little runout this way
 
I use a redding type s die and make my own seater from a wilson blank.
I can make you one if you use an arbor press?

Yes kyle id definitely be interested.

What bushings do you use, and i can use the same ones to size my cases? Doo you neck turn them as well?

I have a 20BR built with a Douglas barrel, 9 twist. I can shoot 55's but the 50s work best.

Douglas is top notch. Mine shoots waaaaay better than I can. I've shot a number of groups on good days for me in the .2's, usually its right around or just under .4

This is built on a lightweight gun for coyote hunting.

Did douglas also do your chambering?

Has anyone had douglas chamber a rifle for them? Howd it shoot?
