It's been a long road. The first 1 in 8 twist barrel I got would not stabilize ANY bullets subsonic. The machinist who made me the barrel cut me a deal on the same barrel in 1 in 7 twist. It had the same issue. After some talks with Douglas barrels and Paladin machine, and the help of the people on the Quarterbore forums, it was discovered that the barrels had practically no lands left. Douglas agreed to send Paladin a stainless 1 in 7 blank. This the barrel that is currently on the rifle. It marginally stabilizes 208 A-max's, and 90 XTP's, but nothing else. It shoots supersonic loads fine.
The pistol position selectable gas-block is great. I can run pretty fast powders with lightweight subsonic bullets (or I could if they would work in my barrel) and they will cycle the action. In fact, they cycled it a bit too hard, so I added the heavy buffer. Now it cycles just about right with the silencer.
