[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 520548, member: 2011"] I'm working on that problem. Has P O'd me for years. First bullets will begin field testing in a couple of weeks up in Montana. Fingers are crossed. (140, 150, 160 class bullets w/bc [I]hopefully [/I]well over 0.6. We'll see..... As for barrel length. with 140s she's good to maybe 800 yards w/24" w/a 27" barrel she's good for maybe 800 yards also. I say 800 yards as that is as far as I busted milk jugs with both barrel lengths before I went to the Allen Mag. Both barrels with the exact same load pushed the 140s @ 3190 FPS. I think the tighter Lilja bore counter acted the extra 3 inches. But groups were frighteningly small out of the Lilja. The ca. 1966 Douglas Premium was great. The Lilja is out of this world....
