I need some advice. I have about 2,500 210 SMK's and I have been trying to shoot them out to a mile from a 300 Win.
Here is the tale of woe: First barrel was ordered as a 10 twist, it shot great to about 800-1000 yards...beyond that, went to hell. Turns out, it is an 11 twist instead of the 10 twist ordered.
Next barrel, different company...9.5 twist...won't shoot better than 2moa with any bullet or powder I try. I've used up about 300-400 bullets trying. Yes, every variable was checked and other accomplished shooters loaded for it and shot it as well. Bore is measured at .300" w/ groove of .3065", 28" MTU taper.
Ok, now l'm not here to bash barrel makers.
What I would like... is advice for a proven combo of barrel spec and reamer spec to shoot this pile of 210 SMK's to a mile.
Thank you for your replies.
