Where do you guys go when shopping for barrel blanks? I'm looking for a 17 caliber and a 7mm.

I always forget to check Altus, but they carry great makers.

In 2022 I have been tapering easy to find fat premium barrels down to hunting taper.
It takes at least 3 hours on my lathe.

Do not overlook Douglas....the last several barrel blanks I got from them shot one little ragged hole at 100 yards off a bench and no wind. I am not the best shot in the world, but the last three I got, which was in the last 6 months did it. They typically have the blank I need ready to ship too. Muller Works makes a first rate barrel too, as does Pac-nor. They are all fantastic to deal with. There really aren't any bad barrels out there. Barreled several for a guy a few years back that wanted Hawk Hills and they shot perfect too.
