I'm quite a few steps closer to this build!
I have a barrel blank in the mail, my dies are in the mail and I have a chambering reamer.
Is there an optimal barrel length and gas port size? I'm looking for a rather accurate pistol, I'm hoping to be able to take deer out to 300 yards(probably more realisticly 200-250). A 6" barrel would be lots of fun, and if I make a 10" barrel I'd have enough material for a 6" too.
Is anyone running a gas piston on their .300 whisper? I'd like to make a gas piston setup for it.
This is still primarily for supersonic, but I want to be able to load up subsonic and make it capable of cycling them too.
What is the best way to port the barrel and not create burrs on the inside? I'd imagine that I'd start small and work my way out and ream the final size? There would probably still be burrs though wouldn't there?
There will be more questions soon. This project is finally starting to take off.
Thanks,
Jon
