Jim, I am no doubt sold on the 6BR-AI! I started this process last October and have a year into it. My AI has shot extremely well here at the house at my 500 yard range. It shot better than anything I have shot here including my best shooting Dasher barrels. It would consistantly shoot .8 inch groups and shot one .494! I shot it in 4 matches at Piedmont 600 yard matches. It placed at the top each time, shot 2 groups under one inch. The last match I shot was August 13 at Piedmont in HG, look it up. Placed 1st with a 1.881 agg in less then favorable conditions. The rifle looks like a LG but has 10 pounds of shot mixed in the expoxy at the McMillian factory (by the way, McMillian stopped this process, or should I say the EPA helped with that decision!). Load is 31.7 of R-15, Berger Hybrids and CCI-450's. Shooting a .135 freebore. The throat is 0.2438, per YOUR idea you told me years ago. I listen to expert shooters! Thanks Jim! I spec all all my reamer that way now and wonder if 0.244 might be as good or better for fat bullets and carbon build up? And yes you will still see me shooting Dashers and trying the new Norma Dasher. I am the type person where trying different things in shooting keeps my interest up, otherwise I start getting bored. Let us know how your project works out! Samuel Hall
