First Custom Rifle Home, Thanks to Custom Gunworx
Stoked, a project in the making for a decade, I bit the bullet and sent it off to Bob @ Custom Gunworx, couldnt be happier. On budget, fast turn around, excellent pricing and the workmanship was awesome. Started out with Gramps old BSA P-17 and ended up with a beautiful, practical hunting rifle. Jury, 26" barrel w/muzzle brake, in 300 Winchester Magnum, Timney trigger, one piece pic rail, bedded. Stock (MPI) was re-bedded and repaired nicely trued up the action, new follower and spring in the mag box, and topped it off with a "Titanium Cerakote" finish. Can't wait to work up some loads and shoot this baby

Well did some reloading after work and worked up a book load with 190 Grain Berger VLDs and H1000. All the way up to max, very easy and no pressure signs. Will refine some more on the weekend.

imagine that, a load worked up for a specific gun worked in said gun, and a load worked up for a different gun did not work in a different gun.
it's almost as if each gun in the world is different, even when chambered the same................

Based upon the testing so far....Bore is not tight, no issues.

Buyers beware. You know you have problems with a barrel maker when they say, they use Krieger bore and groove dimensions and then under closer examination realize they actually errored.
In 7mm, Krieger uses .277/.284 (typical standard). Custom barrel maker was using a .276" reamer......
Quality producers typically stamp bore and groove dimensions on the breech end of the barrel. This would typically be confirmed by the smith prior to machining.....or not...lol.
Fortunately to date, no one has died.
