[QUOTE="deerhunterjj, post: 1225703, member: 34059"] I have been messing around with a 24in double star match 223 bull barrel. I'm wanting to run 69gr tmk bullets. I tried a lot of kids with benchmark. Got it to shoot 1in groups at 200 but once in awhile they would open up quit a bit. So I got upset and ordered a Rainer arms 24in match barrel built on a shilen match blank. It's a 1:8 twist also. I tried benchmark same story second vs. so I moved to H4895 better accuracy most of the time. Very high ES numbers though. Groups most of the time about .7 5 shot group at 200 which I could probally live with if it did it everytime out. But it don't once in awhile it will open up to 1.2-1.3 at 200 and that's not going to work. I just started trying RL15 and getting super low ES numbers 13fps between 5 shoots. But I'm getting 1.1 in and a tad smaller groups. More vertical then anything. Two in the same hole and one inch above them two there's two more in the same hole. And one beside either two shot group. I'm running 25.7 on my RL15 load at 2.265 coal and I'm getting a small dent ring around the bullet. The H4895 load is 23.8 2.265 coal. I ran 200 rds the last 2 days messing with this shilen barrel. Please give me an idea on what to do. I just loaded up some of the 23.8 loads and went down to 2.230,2.240,2.250,2.260 going to give them a shot in the morning.
