Managed to swing by Osprey yesterday,picked up a fine example of Cerakote, will get some pics up this weekend,
Twenty rounds of reload just cycled through the new build,........... SMMOOoothassilk!!, ready to go break in the new barrel, just need my foxin'n buddy to set the scope, I am renowned for setting up canted!, must be boss eyed!
I'll be starting quite low, so just breaking in the the barrel according to instructions!, shoot one clean one.Have to comply with orders of the day you know!
Well it's bl**dy typical inni't, next range day cancelled.

I don't want to initiate a bout of antique chestnut buffing, but I haven't heard anyone recommend breaking a barrel in in this way for some time. Were these Mike's instructions?

Yes sir, I always recommend a ten shot break in for a new barrel. No matter how meticulous your chambering there are always tiny marks in the area forward of the throat ( where the live pilot is rotating in the bore.) Barrel break in smoothes these marks out and helps reduce the barrels tendency to foul . Yours respectfully Mike Norris Brock and Norris Custom Rifles
Well load development has come to a successful end yesterday, finally gave up force feeding the new baby with fodder it don't like!. The Ramshot Magnum has been relegated back to stores, for those rifles that will use it,My shooti'n buddy Flyboy 270 (Mike), hauled out some old loads from his winnie days, 72 grains N160, under S&B's FMJ's & some of S&B's soft point semi wadcutter (in appearance) type 150's, The cross wind from right to left at speeds circa 25mph, gusting 30+ @ Llansillin, was a little disconcerting for checking loads, but a couple of ten shot groups into ragged half inch holes, resulted from both these loads that were put on the shelf around 2003, barrel on soak now & ready to go deer deadly!

As long as the pressure is under the maximum for that cartridge, why would you need to know what it is? Most of us try to achieve maximum accuracy at a velocity that gives sufficient energy to do the job required. As has been said, any pressure given will only be relevant to the barrel used.

I did tell you Steve to use N160 , but you were insistent on using Ramshot Magnum because you picked a load up cheap. So another one of our 300 magnums shooting sub half inch groups with the powder that we recommended. .......... WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT !!!!!!!

Dragged the Winnie out from the back of the cabinet this morning, a good check round / clean up with the lens cloths etc, put up a box of N160 under 165 GMX's, hoping to shoot something bigger than last years piglets, these loads are blowing the tinies up like those PD's over on the prairies , 20 days to go,
