Walther barrels rule
Walther barrels rule
Just put a new Lothar Walther 204 ruger barrel on my savage 110 and couldn't be happier. I went with the 1x10 twist to see if it could shoot the 40 grain Hornadys. I tried them with 26.5 grains of Ramshot TAC and the first three shot group went under a quarter inch. I fired three more groups without letting it cool down and two went right at 1/3 inch and the last just over 1/2 inch. I cleaned it that night and not one bit of copper showed up. These barrels are well worth the money.

Re: Walther barrels rule
pikeon, Welcome to the forum. Nice to here your new barrel is shooting good for you. How many rounds have you got through it already?
Re: Walther barrels rule
I've only shot it fifteen times and these barrels are so smooth a break in period isn't needed.

Re: Walther barrels rule
Do they come chambered and ready to screw on? Where do you get these barrels?
Re: Walther barrels rule
They come prechambered and ready to screw on. I ordered mine directly from Lothar Walther and had it in a week. It cost just under $300 delivered to my door.
Re: Walther barrels rule
You can also try ferret50.com. Although a week from LW cannot be beat
Pikeon Do you have any "distance to the lands" measurements for us. Wondering how much freebore LW uses on thier reamers.

Re: Walther barrels rule
I know they have shorter throats than my stock savage 204 barrel. I couldn't get to the lands on the savage barrel. I was was just touching the lands on my walther barrel at 2.380" and tried 2.350" for my 40 grain vmax loads. They shot so nice I haven't messed with the seating depth.
Re: Walther barrels rule
Thanks for the info.
FWIW DTL's on my Savage is 2.423 with the 40 V-max.
I'm getting the urge to jam!!!![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)
