Thread: 7-08 rem & 162gr Amax?

Well the manufacturer seemed pretty indifferent to it all. He suggested sending it to a "professional load developer" and if he couldn't get it to shoot (I would pay if he could and the manufacturer if he couldn't) then back to the manufacturer. I had tried numerous options up to this point attempting to get it to shoot and sent it to another gun builder who tried (and failed) as well. The cost just kept building up and up as it toured the country. To be honest its still fucking hopeless even suppressed so is going to be scrapped. A $1500 hole.

I use them at mag length in a 19" t3 with 2208 and they stabilise fine

Second TF tube I've heard of lately that won't shoot. Mate had a .223 tube that shot like poo with like 6 different loads. My.243 one is ok though.

Trueflite seems to be developing a bad rep from what I have heard. Not just for making barrels that won't shoot but also for shit support when there is a possible problem.
Has put me off using them anymore.

Has TF changed ownership recently?

I don't believe so.

I will never buy another Trueflite barrel even though I had one in 6.5 that was ridiculously accurate.

That makes two of us. To add insult to injury I recently bought a CZ 223 2nd hand that is a tack driver. All for a grand. Makes the cost of the 7 08 barrel and reloading, and sending it around NZ even more sour. Due to running short of lucre and having the shits with it all I will shelve the 7 08 until cash is freed up to re barrel it (with a different breed). I will cut the CZ to 17 inches and use the 7 08 suppressor on it and that will be my bush gun.

Tuiman is jigging me up a 7SAUM on a Tikka action with a suppressor. Cheers for all you help Tuiman on this topic.

I was gunna suggest you send it to the Moronge. Good choice in the Saum.

If i was to rebarrel I'd probably get a name brand blank from Brownells.

Is that possible?
Vulcan appear to be showing a lot of promise and some yank tubes can be bought locally for good prices.

Of course , that makes perfect sence

Ginga I have some time on my hands and enjoy a bit of a challange if you want to take a punt send it down Ill have play, no charge at all and if nothing works Tuiman can pick it up form me on one of his raiding visits? Just a thought.

Hi Sneeze. Thanks for the offer but a few people have a had a go (who know what they are doing) with it now with no luck so I am binning it.

No worries its your call.
