[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1452853, member: 10178"] You better run out and purchase a lottery ticket right now. To be able to get two BCA barrels that will shoot that good right out of the gate God has smiled on you. Your velocity seems a bit too low for your load and barrel length. Out of my 20" BCA 5R barrel with 28 grs IMR 8208, Hornady case, CCI 450, Nos. 100 BT, COAL 2.275 I average 2629 fps. and just over 1". I found a better load with the 100 BT at 29.8 IMR 8208, CCI 450, Hornady case, COAL 2.240 average 2804 fps ES 34 SD 13 and just under 1". Another good load I found with the 100 BT was with 30.7 grs WW 748, Hornady Case, CCI 450, COAL 2.275 average 2700 fps ES 19 SD 8 and just under 1". I use a light Lee Factory Crimp on all loads. Mine also shoot really well with 28 grs. IMR 8208 with 120 Speer Gold Dot bullets, Hornady Case, CCI 450 and average 2550 fps and 3/4" groups. I went back and re-read your post and forget about what I said about your velocity. I was thinking your stated velocity for the group was from the 20 barrel. You are about average for an 18" barrel.
