The shiny barrel in the picture below is 13-3/4 inches made from a Hart .308 blank with 14 inch twist. The 7 inch blued barrel is a ten-inch twist Douglas also .308 groove. Both barrels headspace on the case mouth and are tightly fitted so that it is necessary to pull back the slide and release it to slam forward several times to drive the barrel lug out of engagement with the frame. Chamber drawing is attached.
After completing the iron sight and scope groups using the 4X Leupole I will shoot again using a Trijicon optical sight on the custom split-ring clamping scope mount. This arrangement is clever and slides over either long barrel.
The answer as to why I am doing this is “because I could." The Meister 94-gr. flatnosed .312 bulet of 92-6-2 alloy shoots as well as good Euro hardball. The NEI #82 shortened to an 88-gr. plainbase with two driving bands and one grease groove also shoots very well. The Saeco #325 SWC is acceptable, but less accurate, as its increased seating depth causes a case bulge in some brass, and profiling in the Lee Factory Crimp die cases base deformation in some brass.
