.338/7mmBr barrel order
After agonizing of which of several projects to get started on and which could be most profitably completed with the greatest chance of actually producing sumpin' dat would shoot, I said, "what de heck" and tentatively ordered a douglas barrel.
I have a Savage 110F and a spare barrel in .308 stainless 26" fluted form. Got it new at auction Arms. (Death to Ebay users). I decided to duplicate this in .338 whisper. It is a tad longish as SSK says these are made anywhere from 6" to 19" or a bit less for sub-sonic apps. I figure I can play with the long barrel and factor in the chance that the bullet is likely to wind up sorta-kinda dribbling out of the barrel on light loads. The nice thing is that with record keeping it can be worked down to a shorter length which is ideal for whatever application and bullet are used.
