Lewis Machine and Tool LM308MWSE

As a matter of fact... Yes that IS a 20" .260 Remington barrel....

Read it and weep!




Here's what it looks like with the barrel:

First ten shots out of my .260 Remington barrel:

0.875-0.260=0.615" for ten shots.


The caveat here is that there wasn't enough powder to reliably pick up the next round. It extracted and ejected just fine, it just have enough oomph to pick up the next round.

Someone convince me I need another barrel for my MWS! I've got the 16" chrome lined in 308. LMT has some barrels in stock (www.lewismachine.net). 20" chrome lined in 308, 20" stainless in 243, 260, and 6.5 Creedmoor are what I'm interested in. I reload for 308 already. Give me pros and cons, please.

I have the 20" .260 Remington barrel. I like it because I can re-size my mountain of .308 brass.

I don't even put my .308 barrel on it anymore.
