Shout Out to Lilja Barrels

Want to give a shout out to Lilja Barrels. I won a barrel certificate from them at the NBRSA 600 Nationals and used it on one of their carbon fiber barrels. I needed a light weight barrel for my 6.5 CM to make weight on an NRL Hunter rifle. I put 100 rounds thru the barrel breaking it in then shot some ammo I already had loaded for another barrel. My first three shot group at 550 yds measured 1.85". I put a can on the barrel and shot a 3.5" group. This is with no load development and shot off a bipod.
Load was Lapua brass, Hornady 140 ELDMs, H4350, 450 pr
Big thanks to Carson Lilja @Hoodoo. Looks like this barrel is a keeper.

I haven't had a Lilja barrel in quite a few years but I still have numerous on different builds and never had a bad one. Lilja's 17 and 20 cal barrels are pretty highly regarded as some of the best in those particular calibers

What barrel contour and groove count did you choose ?
 
I have never owned one of Dan's barrels (11) that wouldn't out shoot me after a little load work.
