223, 1-7 twist vs bullet weight

[K9TXS]

I can relate to the barrel wait times being unacceptable...
this guy on here UrbanRifleman seems to have great stuff in stock ..
I just found this place , or I would have bought my 22Creed barrel from him ,

I have 2 barrels from the UrbanRifleman, 6 BR & 20 Practical. Both very accurate. I would buy from him again. Very good turn around time as well.

Hornaday 53VMAX and let it eat.
My 7tw Urbanrifleman Wilson barrel shoots them tight.
Pdogs out to 535 yards with it so far.

Also, I would suggest the 62 eldvt is that barrel. They really are better.

A tight bore doesn't give better accuracy or help barrel life etc... if there is a problem... the tight bore isn't going to help anything.

I don't run tight bores in anything anymore. Haven't for years.

To update this as I forgot to mention....

The only reason I would consider a tight bore barrel anymore is if the ammo I'm shooting or the bullets I'm shooting are truly undersize. That would be the only reason.

If you come across a deal on some bullets and they are truly undersize.... is it even worth to snag a few hundred and then order a barrel undersize just to shoot those bullets to get good accuracy? Once your out of the bullets... than what?
