Wildcat69 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I started a topic a little ago about weight and choice of equipment. I was told initially to start with barrelled action including rings, trigger and rail and then work your way out by adding the stock, bipod and scope. But wih you, you got to work the other way around. I guess you just got to weigh all stuff that you already have. My barrelled action complete is around just under 10.5lbs and that with a 32" F class barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Hi guys , I'm just hopping in here to correct my earlier mistake is was indeed the 185 juggernaut I meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylor Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 You have to work around what some customers have or want like scopes and rings and what stocks they want John the juggernaut is ok with 1-12 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Thanks taylor just to summarise then,to shoot 155.5 and 185 jugs a 1-12 twist heavy profile barrel finished at 32" should work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amleto63 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I got my FTR in build as we speak. I have 32" true-flite barrel 1:10" F class contour. I intend to push 155 to 185gr to try out what suits me as I am beginning in FTR. Although this twist rate works with the lighter bullets I should a fair spin drift. Apparently the gain twist thing from what I heard doesn't make much difference but I have no experience so can't tell you much. I have asked for a standard 308 chamber and tight neck tolerances as I will be neck turning. I also asked to screw cut for mod so that I can practice at home and load developing. What action are you going for? Weight of your 32" True Flite barrel? Cheers, Amleto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshift Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I see you are going with a tight neck reamer, I don't shoot ftr but I thought the chamber had to be a certain size by the regs, surely if you neck turn on a spec'd chamber things are going to get a bit baggy?

Wildcat69 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I had to change the choice of the reamer as I had to order one but would have taken for ever to get one so got the option for a reamer which suits the 185 hybrid, maybe a little long for the smk's 2256 Palma but I guess I'll see once the rifle is ready. The throat diameter is standard but still neck turned my cases while waiting patiently . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Just for your info tight neck chambers are not permitted in FTR A standard SAAMI spec round must be able to chamber in your rifle. So be wary Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat69 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Cheers 6mm, I wasn't aware of that. The reamer in question is a saami spec so all good from that front . So if I am correct their a fair few reamers in 308 that would be considered not accepted for f class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish hunter Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I got a Bartlein barrel light varmit 32 inch 1 in 12 twist only 2 months ago and she loves the Berger 155 hybrids, have yet to try the 185's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
