About LinkBacksI'm told it would only be a barrel change to convert a 243 to 7mm08. Is this so, and if so how much would that cost?

With Trueflite Ultramatch barrel $950-1000 including freight.
Vulcan barrel less.
Pre-owned factory barrel much less again, if you can find one that will just need screwing in & head spacing.Contact me for reloading components, brass, projectiles, powder, primers, etc

Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

This has to be a pretty good option IMO. No shagging round, just screw one out and screw the other in. Might even get away with headspace. Originally Posted by Smiddy

Lothar Walther profiled blanks are $US250 from Brownells. Gun Works told me they would chamber and fit a barrel for $120 I think it was.

Wow thats cheap. Normally anywhere between 250-350 for chambering barrel fit plus crown if its a blank youll need to pay for profile aswell.

These are precontoured but most of them are varmint profile I think. Would want them turned down. RIFLE BARRELS | Brownells
