Anyone here shooting a 30 HRT ?

Kinda interested, seems I have more 1:8 twist barrel blank than I need for my project and was thinking one some other interesting caliber, kinda weighing this against the Covert...T2 AlleyCat ? care to share anymore info ;-)
on the one hand 6.8 brass is harder to come by and more spendy on the other the covert takes a custom reamer and die set ....

or maybe I could go with a 7.62x 40 though it was kinda designed for a slower twist.

You might also trade fast twist barrel stock for more appropriate slower twist barrel stock. Both are desirable for those who need it. Why go to the effort of fabricating a rifle which you know won't have optimum ballistics for at least some applications.

Just a custom size die and spook can chamber your tube, its designed for a 1-8 twist also. If doing a ar platform then you will need 6.5 grendel mags for the best function which c-products or whatever the new company name is now has plenty of.

ok ...Spook how about it ? I knew you chambered barrels, do you profile and contour too? Or would I do that first or after words...how busy are you and what kinda price , oh and I gather you guys got a run of Dies made.. still have any and how much ?


Still would like some First hand info on the HRT. Seems so much easier to me, nothing proprietary about it and I could do it all myself without having to wait on any custom reamers or Dies.
