What does a custom MGM 7 mm Remington mag cost??? And how long does it take to get one?? Question
@mgmbarrels32997 күн бұрын
For a standard rifle barrel, they start off at $475. That price can change depending on what options you choose. It does take us 10 to 12 weeks to get a barrel built.

No they do not. The G2 barrel has an .810" diameter at the breech just like the original Contender. The Encore is 1" at the breech.

.444 with a 20 in. twist or .45-70 with a 18 in. twist will reach out to 350 yards with rifle type bullets. They are more flexible from deer to moose.

I've shot the 7mmRem mag and the 300Win mag calibers in assorted rifles over the past half-century and they are all outstanding for accuracy and power. I've only shot the Encore rifle with a factory Pro-Hunter standard weight barrel in .243Win. I have settled on the Hornady factory 100 gr. BTSP load and it always delivers five-shot groups around 3/4 inch or less. I hope to try this same gun with a 270Win barrel since it has always been my favorite caliber. I began shooting the TC Contender pistol in 1968 when the only offerings that I could find were the .357mag and the 22lr calibers. I bought an octagon barrel version because that's all that was available. I had owned several revolvers in.357mag caliber so that's what I chose for the Contender. My first groups with the TC blew my socks off. I never looked back. I went on to shoot that gun in 7mmTcu to qualify and shoot AAA Class in Production Handgun Silhouette. I've not owned the MGM barrels but in conversations with shooters who have, they say they are outstanding for accuracy and quality.

Do you get an increase in velocity when going to a rifle powder and using a longer barrel like the 16.5"?
@mgmbarrels32994 ай бұрын
Not sure what velocity increase you would see, if any with an extra 1/4". We do not have the data to say. As far as rifle powder goes, we only tested with Lil 'gun and H110 so we do not have an answer for rifle powder either. If you test it, let us know!

The only firearms training i have is threw the service and it wasnt much as i was in the Navy lol So when it came to firearms we just had to qualify with a 22LR caliber AR and 1911 when i was in. It was an M4 carbine of the 80s lol We only had minimal training when it came to shooting it self, but had plenty of firarms safety training. With my swim test the seals wanted me but i quickly said no thank you sir i am not crazy enough for that! LOL i was scared enough going in at ,Just days after my 18th birthday ,going into the regula Navy! LOL In any case i loved that part of the training the most as i have always loved firearms! but never got the chance to learn much about that. Taking this or that handgun or rifle apart to clean ,yes, but not much else. I have since educated my self on building ARs and other bolt guns. But im very far from any kind of expert! Right now im playing a sponge so i can learn all i can to make this hobby even more fun and so i can better defend my self ,or family if i ever have too!?! So i subbed your channel as i think it will teach me a lot! Thanks

Well i have a Marlin 1895 Rifle chambered in the 45/70 and i was surprised to see it was the slowest round out of all of these? I didnt expect it to be in the t op two but still. What would you suggest out of the 444Marlin and 450BM? im trying to decide what caliber to buy a single shot rifle in for target shooting? I really like the throw back shoots with trap door and other older rifles best. but they didnt have those other calibers back then! LOL

Had a 22-250 in encore, it shot ok. Had a .243 pistol barrel it shot great. I still have my Muzzleloader, it shoots great. I have a .204, tack driver. Note: some of these barrels have a counterclockwise twist does anyone know why. My 243 pistol and my 22-250 were like that. My Muzzleloader, 308 and 204 are clockwise. 🤔

Since the 454 Casull is just a shorter less powerful 460 S&W, of course it would compete but still be under the performance the 460 produces.
