New Barrel Tested

I have been given the honor of testing a barrel that was put together by one of our members,

http://forum.accurateshooter.com/members/zeke06.541229/

other wise known as Chris!

Chris put together a 10/22 barrel with a reamer blend of his design.. the barrel finished out at 24.5 inches. 16 twist with about 6K of choke.. I am not sure where the barrel's ring point is, i didn't test it before putting it on the action.

It took about 2 boxes of ammo to get it relatively dialed in on a 50 degree afternoon with mild winds at Kettlefoot. i was using SK Standard Plus at the time. and when i packed everything up, i was hitting dots on a the ABRA target consistently.

Last night, went to a match.. and here are my results:

This first card was shot with SK SP

Winds were gusting to approx 12 mph with rain and the threat of snow!

The next two targets were shot with Center-X..

20180202_045406[1].jpg
20180202_045415[1].jpg

on these targets, in order to get the X, you must wipe it out.. next line up doesn't count for the X. Conditions were a lil tricky with the mirage that was jiggling around with the swirling winds and updrafts that were present.

As it stands right now, i feel that Chris has done a wonderful job with putting a fantastic barrel together! So you 10/22 owners that would be looking for a new barrel.. do not hesitate to contact him.

Does he offer any different twist rates or threading on muzzle? Fine shooting too!
Mr Millard, i think that just sending him a message will suffice in finding out that info.. i never asked about it, but i am sure that he would do it for you!
 
Looks terrific. I wonder what would happen with a better grade round? May I ask how many rounds it took to get the tuner dialed in?

i went through about 120 rounds.. i really had no plans to try Midas+ in it, but i might just to see how it does.. i won't try Eley.. I will be trying SK Pistol Match and Flatnose Match in it as soon as i get it.

I agree on the Midas plus and your comment on the Eley. As to the Eley Black, there are relatively large differences in accuracy among the various speeds (and lots) with the same speed. I have an Anschutz 1913 round action and a tuner. I am embarrassed to tell you how many rounds (over three cases) of various speeds, found one, and then had trouble finding and then purchasing two cases of it with the same lot number. If one has a tuner, multiply the variations accordingly.

Though i do have two boxes of Eley Match.. i might try it just for function.. since i am wanting to try the SK Flatnose Match that is coming out..
 
Very nice shooting sir... I noticed you said it was shot at 30 yards is that the distance for competition with those targets..?
