[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 255981, member: 2693"] Mike, I can post videos where hunters are killing game at really long ranges using Bartlien and Broughton bbls too. Shawn Carlock has some videos where he's shooting over 1000 yards and I think his bbl of choice is Hart. Quite frankly, I think most of them are of exceptional quality and some make better bbls in certain diameters than others. One very well known engineer/smith uses only Bartlien and Hart....one button rifled, one cut rifled. If I recall correctly, he prefers one make for 30 cal and larger and the other for under 30 cal. Dave Bruno just built my friend's 270 on an old Remington action (prior to the 700, can't remember though, think it's a 78 maybe?) in ADL. The Jewel trigger was set to 1 pound. The bbl is a 3 groove Lilja SS, #3 contour--(3 groove bbls from Lilja come recommended by BAT also). The stock is H-S Precision also bedded with Devcon steel putty. I broke in the rifle for him. His first day at the range with FACTORY Hornady SSTs in 130 and 140 gr produced multiple 3 shot groups less than 1/2" and one group that made basically a zero inch group. Yes, literally, one caliber sized hole. Those were the 140s. He also had 150s with the regular Interlocked bullet. Also, not one group greater than 3/4" at 100 yrds. So, was it Dave Bruno's ability to put the gun together? The lilja bbl? Ammo? All of the above? I don't know. [/QUOTE]
