[NoFlyers119]

Anyone have an idea on wait time for a Muller Barrel? Wanting a 4 MI for BR rifle build.

TIA!

Widdens has some 8 mi in stock now

I did see that. I'd be interested in hearing some thoughts on 4 vs. 8 (not to beat a dead horse, as I am sure it's been discussed before).

I am a muzzleloading benchrest shooter, but looking to get into RFBR this year, so any insights are definitely appreciated!

Call Dan at Precision Quest Products. He has some 4 MI barrels in stock...not sure if he's looking to sell just blanks.

I asked that question when I ordered a 4mi and an 8mi on November 25. Greg told me my unusual fast twist barrels would be done pretty quick, said it would take about 2 months. I was just notified they are shipping this week. So faster than I expected by a couple weeks

I don’t think that he’s talking twist. The 4 and 8 are the rifling types. JMO

You are correct

The 8’s are quite good as well if set up properly not a ton to distinguish either.
I have a 4,5,6, and 8, they’re all good.
FWIW you want anything 16 twist.

You are correct

Ok forget the type and twist rate. I asked how long is the wait, I was told it would take about 2 months. It actually took 6 weeks.

Great to know! Thank you and I hope your barrels are full of Xs!

Thanks but I’m building these for ELR matches. But if they group well short range, I may try them at an ARA match in San Angelo, TX. Have not been out there in almost a year. Great practice for trigger control, form, and follow though. Those San Angelo guys are good, they always beat the pants off of me.

So what twist did you go with?

I bought 2 blanks, both 13T a (4MI and an 8MI) and I’ll tell you why.
I already have a 13T 8MI. I bought it second hand from an old friend who used it in NRL 22. It’s a Vudoo rebarrel performed by DI Precision several years ago. It’s a 24” MTU and it was turned and threaded for the V1 EC tuner. Although it shot well with SK and Lapua LR it wasn’t great. Tuner had little to no affect on vertical dispersion at long range or group size at any distance. I almost sold it, but gave it one more chance with a harrels tuner and weight kit and it woke up (.2-.3 mils vertical at 300yds)… Shot so well I decided to buy a couple more barrels to test them on CZ 457 actions. I want to see if they are as good as my Vudoo at long range and see if the 4 groove is better than the 8 in the west Texas wind.

I have a 4 and an 8 I find the hotter it is the 4 works better than the 8 so go figure

Interesting observation, I’ll see how it works for me.
Every time I think I have it figured out I’m wrong. One day it shoots like a laser beam in the morning but that afternoon it’s a shotgun. Leaves me head scratching so I ask the one guy who knows the most about long range precision 22s. He listens to my rant and says; “Remember, you are shooting a 22”.

I have had a 4mi and a 8mi now. My 8mi shoots better especially in the wind. But a lot of different variables. 2 separate guns actions and gunsmiths. Just had a muller Octomax fitted to a rifle. Should have it back in next couple days. Interested to see how it does.

The 8mi I have mounted on my Turbo took a bit to come in when new but when it did, it shoots very well in mild and windy conditions. The exception, a right to left wind. With my prior 5groove as well as a Shilen ratchet I would see a manageable shift. With the 8MI, it can be more significant which with an ARA target just requires a bit more focus. I can only assume the added grooves contribute to the affective change. All 16T…
