Got some initial measurements on new BRA barrel and was able to load up 25 rounds to test fire forming speeds. My original barrel was chambered long and gave me some issues fire forming brass but this one has a nice crush fit on virgin Lapua. I added .030 of jam in there just to be case. Gonna bring a rubber mallet with me to range tomorrow just incase I have issues closing the bolt.

I also loaded up some rounds for current barrel with a little more zip as either I cleaned really well last time or speeds are starting to come down on it. Its gotta make it one more match...

Lastly I had a pleasant surprise today of some backordered brass. It looks big next to the br.[ATTACH=full]722646[/ATTACH]
