I have my own reamers and all my barrels but one were done but the same 2 smiths most of them by the same one. In my many 6 ppc and 6brx barrels the loads only varied by a tenth or two in powder and a few tenths in seating. I never retuned except a bump or two with a tuner. I never cared about velocity except to have an honest figure for the inevitable question....how fast. Lol. BRX with 107SMK 2975 to 2990. 6PPC with 68 gr plus or minus a tad at 3400. Its the Indian not the arrow with my normal budget. Bob Green crafted me accurate rifles, the rest is up to me.Jeff,
Have u noticed that no matter which barrel u have on ur rifle, the same basic load shoots in all ur barrels? In my BRX, if 33.0-33.5 gr of Varget/VV140 and a 105/107 gr bullet doesn’t shoot, the barrel gets pulled as there is something wrong with that barrel. I am not willing to spend the time n components figuring out what the odd barrel likes.
The velocity at the target ( using Shotmarker) always falls in the same range as well. One bbl may be 50 fps or so different but that is just the nature of different barrels and their round counts.
I shoot prone with a sling so perhaps in F-Class I would see something different.
