[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 1485058, member: 1441"] Hardy does offer both R8 and R93 profiled barrels now, in carbon sleeved and steel versions. They offer them both as profiled blanks and I think as finished barrels as well. The cool thing is that in .308 they run as fast as 1:7 which is appealing to me as I seem to always have trouble stabilizing heavier mono mullets. Also I'm not sure of the validity of this idea but I feel like such a short barrel will do better with a faster twist. The numbers don't show enough speed beyond 400m for reliable expansion, that is going to be the real limiting factor. [/QUOTE]
