Bullet Central recently got a shipment of .22 lr ammo.  Got an email notification this morning.  Decent pricing on Lapua and SK, or at least at first glance of the email.  I like BC.  I have bought a bunch of stuff from them for my .308 and they've treated me well.  Their packing and shipping is great.  They also sent out a cleaning product (IOSSO for about $7-10) by mistake.  After contacting them, they shipped out the correct product and said keep the other one.  It was something I could use, so bonus.  Love CS like that.

Have you ordered ammo through them?

Nevermind. I just read through their shipping policy.

Carbon ring is a real thing. Depending on your ammo may help or maybe detrimental for accuracy.

I use their brushes for centerfire they're the best IMO. Way too stiff for rimfire I use boretech nylon. Even then a brush very rarely goes down the rimfire barrel.  Think about it ... very low velocity, no heat, lead projectile (soft), powder residue dirty. Just take the powder fouling out of the barrel to moisture doesn't cause rust. If you have lead buildup in your barrel, you got problems with the barrel not the cleaning regiment.

If you have experience with quality hand lapped custom centerfire barrels, you will know there's very little to no copper buildup in the barrel. Just clean the carbon and you're good.

This is not aimed at anyone in particular. Just stating the common sense of cleaning. Your money, your rifle, you do you.

I like BoreTech's products, including the brushes and have them for all my rifle calibers (caliber and one lower).  I mostly use patches for cleaning these days though.  Haven't cleaned the .22 yet, but I recently got all of the supplies in (cleaning rod, bore guide, brushes, jag, etc).  Mostly BoreTech stuff, but I'll use whatever. 

Re: custom barrels, I will find out when my .308 and 6.5 CM show up.  Hopefully in the next 1-3 weeks.

I would order ammo from them, and ship to Kaleo for the next pallet.  I should also check with Jen to verify when the next one is projected.  Don't want to have boxes of ammo sitting in their garage (or wherever they store them) for months for the next pallet. 

Received my barrel from Benchmark today.
Plan to put it on my Anschutz 2013 action rifle.
Ordered it in June 2021.

30" long but will be 28" finished length after machining.
16.5" twist
3-groove barrel

Waiting for JGS Precision chamber reamer in 22 Nevius, which is tailored to Lapua 22LR ammo.
Ordered it in June 2021, but still waiting.

Will send barrel and chamber reamer to mainland for machining.
Gunsmith in Pennsylvania recommended by Steve Boelter, former President of Anschutz North America.

Barrel has to be cut & crowned, and the shank has to be machined like the last picture below.

That's awesome!  I bet you're pretty excited to see progress after wait times like that.

My bolt actions are hopefully nearing completion.  I put in the orders back in July and Aug, but I knew the wait would be many months.  Last update was that one of the last components arrived and the barrel got on their "chamber schedule" with projected delivery before Christmas.  So hopefully soon. 

At the risk of getting closer to the .22 rabbit hole that you're in, but what is the approximate timeline for the barrel work once you get it to the gunsmith?  I don't think I'm anywhere near that with my .22 rifle, but interested in what the lead times are. 

That rabbit hole looks too deep for me.  I’ll definitely ask esk808 for some advice on my build next year.  I’ll start really looking 2nd qtr 2022.  Aside from Anschutz and Vudoo what other rifles should I be researching.  Rim X?

Calfee build on a 2500X

You guys are nuts. 

I am having a ton of fun with my Savage Mark II TR. It shoots $0.15/round (recent prices) ammo very nicely. Good for silhouette matches, sniping bolts at 100 yards, and 6" plates at 150 and 200 yards.

That said, I just dropped some cash on a much better scope: Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 with MRAD reticle. It's a revelation, coming from a decent scope with a 30/30 reticle.

Full disclosure: if a long lost aunty left me a big pile of cash I'd be next in line at Vudoo.

Waiting for the kaleoarms shipment too, like drck1000............

Got some ammo coming in......

Anybody got the latest from Jennifer as to ETA?

Seems like the allure of the dark side of the force is pulling you in.  Just a matter of time.

Be careful.  That "better optics" thing can be quite a venture as well.  Not quite the rabbit hole of precision .22, but still.  I know many shooting buddies will refuse to look through some nicer scopes for fear of "the wants".  One guy who shot with me in a carbine course bought a NF ATACR after shooting my gun with that scope.  And he has just bought a decently nice LPVO. 

I've been watching more videos with the Vudoo and have been intrigued.  Well, with the RimX as well.  So many options. . .

Last email was near the end of Nov after I confirmed my order had been shipped to them and confirming my delivery addy.  Jen mentioned updating when closer to landing mid-Dec.  That said, I would bet that like everything, the ports situation will likely affect it. . .

Awesome!   

Do you already have a scope for it?  If yes, get it zero'ed and let's hit the range!

Dropping off the scope later today to attach. I don't have confidence in myself doing it.  Vortex Crossfire II.  But it's in black, we're going to see if Red Letter can cerakote the scope and rings to match the barrel and receiver (silver).

Are you going to drop off Mrs. CMO too?  How are you going to ensure the eye relief is set for her?

If you want, I can meet you folks at the range and help you folks set it up.
