Finally got the chance to shoot the same load I shot in our last match to show that the load was a good load and has been for a few years now, and guys on Facebashers are telling me maybe I need a new barrel since my groups weren't tight like they should be for 600BR, so I set my target up at200, there was a 5-8mph wind out of the ESE and started plunking away, needless to say I was somewhat overjoyed when I walked down to the pits and saw this group although not a worldclass group but it satisfies me, so I won't be getting a new Bart. haha Thanks for listening.
You think I need a new Bartlein?

Not bad. Was it a 10 or 4 oclock wind, by chance?
4 o clock, sir
Here's my 2nd grp with ADG brass, and H4350, inch higher, same JLK bulllets.

Exactly! When you think to yourself "Should I get a Bartlein?" the answer is always yes so order it and start the wait because by the time it's ready you will need it.You can never have too many fresh Bartleins's
Based on the first pic and wind direction, the bullets went where they should. I'd say your bbl is still very good. The 2nd pic says much the same but with a flyer that may well have been wind. Again, it went where it should if the push was hard enough. To me, I think your gun is shooting pretty well. Use wind flags if you weren't.

I determine the state of my barrel by how competitive I am staying. I have expections, I know when I am not making mistakes on the bench and shooting in the conditions I want. I know if I was lazy on the flags. If the bullets no longer go correctly I retune with the tuner. When that does not fix it, barrel must go.
That's what I was looking at on his target. When he confirmed the wind direction, I surmised that the shots were going where they should in that condition rather than into it or up and right, which isn't wind in a rh twist bbl. It can be tune or gun handling, for example, but not a solid wind push. Not bad groups but flags might've made them better. My std is .3's at 200. That's what I'm looking for at 200 in a good br rifle in good conditions but if shots go out and the flags agree, it was probably my fault that a shot came out.
