Thanks Domestique. Have you tried RL 17, I use it in my bolt gun and It faster the other powders I have tried.

I have not. I was using H4350. I didn't have a lot of lead up time to push the load, and went really conservative. My 142gr. SMK was only going 2,505 fps. A longer barrel, and bolt gun pressures should easily go a couple hundred feet faster.

I asked Gene what the "inside baseball" was on the LW barrels. He said they had a request order for LW barrels from a SF Unit in Canada. They wanted lighter weight barrels for extended field ops etc.
He said these were the leftovers they had after fullfillment of that contract. He also said they had Aluminum barrel extensions & obviously a different contour & profile. He said & claimed great accuracy & AAR from them. He said about 2/3 lb. was realized.

Did he say if the LW SS barrel is still 1:11.25 or 1:10 like the CL barrels?

It not about barrel length, it being able to get more fps out of your existing barrel by just swaping powers. German Salazar posted an article about it and being able to get that extra 200 fps with no pressure signs. It loads almost the same amount as H4350, it just the chemical composition that makes it a more efficient propellent.

I'll look into it. My point is that with my 20" barrel I'm losing a decent amount of velocity compared to a 24-26" bolt gun.

Is this the article?

That is it. It works for both of my bolt guns. I have loads work up to for my first range trip, however it proved to be a very windy day with a front passing through my area.

I am in the same point with a 20" in 6.5CM, that was why I mentioned it. I hope it works out for you. Good luck.

SS are 1:11.25 & the barrel extension is steel & aluminum. Steel core w/ aluminum wrap fused over steel extension.

Cool. An EOTech proving it's usefulness.

I kid. I ran an EXPS-2 for a while and really liked it, but like my T1 even more.

I have been doing my own informal testing with the EOTech, and have yet got it to shift.
Keep it or send it in, I have not decided.

At least you know EOTech's gesture is legit. People are getting their money back from what I'm seeing. Great way to handle the fall-out I think.
