Read my post on the first pageI agree on the cleaning for McGowen barrels as well. broke in faster than any other barrel I've owned and clean out much quicker too. expertly lapped extremely smooth bores. Probably a huge reason why they are so accurate an forgivinuhg when searching for loads.
Sorry about that. Must have missed that.
Yes the Mcgowen I had was a prefit in 6mmbr. The barrel was top notch. I traded that rifle foraother to a good friend that wanted to try our mid range F-class course. First time out shooting that rifle he shot a 442-22x across a 450 course. Not too shabby for the first time out with that rifle I put together, quickly, and on a budget.

Trailrider121,
The wide diameter bodies of short mag cartridges leave the chamber walls of the barrel too thin for safety on a small shank and you probably won't find anyone who will do it. At least not if they are concerned for your safety. I would not recommend trying it even if you do find someone who will do it for you.
If you absolutely have to have that kind of performance in a compact case design using a small shank barrel, you could wildcat the 300 Ruger Compact Magnum case to 7mm and probably get similar performance. Just a thought.
