What's the barrel life like on that?

Short. Probably 1000-1200 rounds. Barrels are easily replaced and when chasing velocity that's a price I'm willing to pay.

What's the recoil like on that? 140 great 3600+ fps damn

Haven't shot it yet but I'm gonna guess it's going to be like shooting an stw. Probably feel stouter than a 300 win mag. In a similar weight 7stw the recoil feels greater than my 300 win mags but not like a 30-378wby or 375 h&h.

Well I finally got the right rings from talley and had a chance to take it out to the range. recoil was surprisingly tame with the 175gn accubond long rage bullet. Closer to a 270 weatherby in feel. Velocity was lackluster (insert sarcasm)on the factory nosler trophy grade ammo. 3158 average fps over my magneto speed chrony. Encountered a couple of blown primers with the factory ammo as well. Only shot five rounds and am breaking the barrel in per nosler specs. Between sighting in the kahles and cleaning I haven't shot a true group with it yet. I'm calling the nosler techs tomorrow to see what powder they where using before I fire any of my handloads. I used imr 7828ssc retumbo and h4831sc in my handloads but am apprehensive to shoot any of them as I expect velocity to be over 100fps faster with the same bullet and work up from there. A little disappointed in the factory ammo actually. Talked to a couple of other guys who found the same issue my guess is they are using a blended powder see what the tech tells me. Other than the blown primers and sticky bolt lift I'm happy with the rifle should have shot my reloads first but since my fiancé bought a box of the factory stuff I thought I'd use it for the break in period. I'll post another range report once I have a chance to shoot it agin

Well talked to nosler. They issued a call tag and want to inspect my rifle and the factory ammo. Now we wait agin. Technician was nice he was as perplexed as I was about this ordeal. I imagine it will be a month at least before I get any answers.

Sucks that this happened. I hope they get you taken care of quickly

Can you tell me which magneto speed crony you are using. V1/V2/V3 or the sporter?

Are you happy with it? I am considering one. Seems like not having to wait for a cold range is nice. Also can use it indoors.
As i understand it the V3 can be used on pistols/muzzleloaders/shotguns. Is it worth the extra cash?

That sucks. Hope you get fast answers.
