98Z5V Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 Exactly. Let's stick to the point of the thread, which is a new barrel, never before been seen. Not about swaging 230gr 45s down, or 45-70 loads, or projectiles can't protrude into the case, and all the bullshiit distractions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted January 14 Author Report Share Posted January 14 So, I called KAK today. Talked to an amazing lady on the phone, and asked her about this barrel. She told me that she really didn't know, and there wasn't anybody there that could correctly answer me on the 1:5" twist. She DID however tell me that all barrel designs and specs are determined by the owner, and I COULD email him directly and talk to him about it. So I did. My email: "I just noticed a new 12.5" midlength gas barrel on your website, this one is 416R stainless and has a 1:5" twist rate. Is that twist rate on that barrel to overstabilize 75 and 77 heavies to get more distance out of a 12.5" barrel? His answer: Stabilize longer bullets but most to help them expand and destabilize on impact for better wounding Kurt CUSTOMER SERVICE ISO 9001:2015, CAGE 7YV73, 83AW3, 9AP84 Office: 805.981.4734 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted Sunday at 11:34 PM Author Report Share Posted Sunday at 11:34 PM Got the perfect scope coming for this short 12.5" bastard. Big savings in it, too, during today, if anyone wants to jump on this. Hit the PA website for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
