Busy evening tonight. After dinner I decided to take apart my Savage MKII bolt action and get it ready to thread the barrel tomorrow. After I had it apart I decided I might as well get it chucked up in the lathe. One thing let to another and now I have it cut back to 18" and threaded. We'll see how it shoots tomorrow.
I also slightly enlarged the bore diameter in the can. It was right at .25", and I was starting to wonder if that was too tight. I was shooting out to 50 yards today and it looked like some of the bullets may have keyholed. After talking about it with some other guys I started wondering if the tight bore was affecting bullet stability. So, I stepped up to a 17/64 drill bit (.265) which is actually what the guys at Silencertalk recommended.

Round 2 has started. Just a little bigger than the first one.

Got the big brother done today. Probably will be a few days before I have a chance to try it out. This one was a lot more work. Stainless is a lot harder to machine than aluminum, especially with a little benchtop lathe.

Drilled out the back of the mount to save a little weight. It's still a heavy pig. I overbuilt it.
