Our barrels are not made by Remington.

And I did not pick stainless steel because carbon steel with nitriding is more corrosion resistant and durable. And hand-lapping must be used if that is what...

McGowen is more than a few people?

But yes, the days of having to pay $1200 for a bolt action 300 Fireball are soon over. There will be Remington Model-7s and maybe CZ rifles for much less. People...

Headspace is allowed about a 0.006 range, while the throat in 300 AAC BLACKOUT is about 0.050 longer than in 300 Whisper(R) (about the same difference in the 6.8 SPC-II vs the 6.8 SPC throat).

300...

You seem to be saying that AAC did not acknowledge that the 300 Fireball, 300-221, or 300 Whisper(R) came first. We did. It is in the PowerPoint that AAC released to the press and I presented at a...

They just grind the entire chamber shape a little further rearward on the tool. The 300/221 vs 300 AAC BLACKOUT chambers are different in every single area. Not one area is identical (though most...

Not true. The 300 AAC BLACKOUT chamber is designed to allow for higher velocity.
