I cut down my 26" 300Mag barrel to 16.5" put a target crown on it and had it drilled and taped for a pistol forend.So I can also use it with the pistol or rifle forend.I also got to shoot it today with factory 180gr Corelocks it grouped 1 3/4 to 2" at 100 yards.Bad news is my 9v batt. was DEAD.So I couldn't run it over the chrono :cry: I'll try it again come Saturday and let you guys know what she does.Recoil was not much more than my 15" '06.It just has more push the '06 has a sharp twist and crack to it than the 300Mag.I will also add this is one fun barrel to shoot and I could stand to shoot it all day long and still keep all my TEETH :mrgreen: Oh ya I forgot this barrel has no brake if you were woundering.
