Hart blanks vs

[Kevin1990]

The wait times on these barrels are only about 3 months. I've contacted brux, still waiting to hear, Krieger is at 12 months and contacted bartlien.

Looking for a 6mm 1-10 twist straight taper blank.

Been awhile since I've heard anything about Hart on a forum. (Im sure they are mentioned. I just don't see them.)

Just looking for thoughts or hart, for short range f open, and bench work at 400 and in.

Also, have lead times always been that long for Krieger and others,or are they still recovering from the plandemic?

Thanks fellas

Very good barrels. The .042 pictured as my avatar was done with a Hart LV Barrel.

Wow, that's awesome! Thank you for the info.

I got 7 .224- 14 twist 3 groove barrels from the several months ago. They are all shooting really well, not a bad one in the bunch.

Oh that must have changed recently... a month ago they told me 4-5 months and 6-8 for a rebarrel. I probably would have purchased a blank if it was only 3 months.

I've been using Hart barrels for about 25 years now, all have been super accurate, also got a .087
from my 22ppc.

I have had excellent results with Douglas barrels, both in accuracy and turn around time.

I just bought a hart 1/10 from brunos, for making a 6 dasher shooting 70gr tnt's

I have had great barrels from Bartlein, Hart, Lilja, Brux, Shilen, Krieger. I have had a couple of bad barrels but not from any of the above.

 

[Dusty Stevens]

I havent used one or known of anybody using one in 25 yrs

One word....look at the equipment lists of competitions.

That's actually 7 words. I have an issue when people say that. It seems like a lazy way to justify your own personal purchase. Just because someone hasent used that specific barrel doesn't mean it's not top tier. Why aren't we taking into account the reloads and wind reading of competitors? Literally dozens of other factors. Not saying that a green mountain blank is going to outshoot a bart, but I don't think looking at an equipment list of someone with a different skill level than me is going to help. I can't put on Jordans shoes and dunk. I can't pick up tiger woods clubs and golf.

 

[D Coots]

Have your issue.


Obviously you don't compete.

Alright then, so absolutely zero evidence to back your claim as to why I should swing from the nuts of a stranger who I don't know, and has different skill levels. Gotcha. Lmao.

I've competed in boxing and wrestling my entire life. I've watched guys with top tier gloves get the piss beat out of them, by lesser gloves. So do we blame the gloves for the loss?

I had a Hart 6mm barrel - 10" twist, number 4 contour installed on my 243 Win, Model 7 in 2019 and been very pleased with it.

Some people have to learn the hard way. Nothing to do with skill levels. Most all custom barrels are in the same price range. So for the hard way crowd, do not listen to experience, such as what wins in competitions. Anyone can waste their money any way they want.

And btw....equipment lists are all the evidence most people need.

and here we go. Pissing match started.
My uncle built a 6.5 300wsm with a hart barrel, it shot great

Serious question, are any Hawk Hill barrels showing up in the winners list?

My first 6.5x47 barrel was a hart. Maybe the best barrel I’ve ever had
