Just slipped on my new 32", 1.25" straight, Bartlein 5R, 1:9 twist barrel on the f-class rig after 1300 rounds on the current 284 shehane barrel, which is showing some major coppering and firecracking now. It is about time to turn the barrel into a fireforming barrel.
After a few rounds to "break-in" the barrel, I worked around my current load and it is showing some very good promise. Single shots to the center of the target with H4831SC, 180gr hybrids, 10K out at 100 yards yielded some nice vertical and POI between 56.5 and 56.9. A nice 0.4gr node it looks like. It also looks like the node is very noticeable. Yes, it is only a few shots, but for it to do this, I am stoked. Whatcha think?
