25 Saum carbon Bbl For defiance

[Shooter264]

Probably regret posting this but I'll leave it here for a few days and if it doesn't sell I'm happy to keep it. I had been waiting over a year for an 18" bbl and decided to spin this one up for a hunt. My 18" finally showed up so this bbl is currently sitting on the shelf.

20" IBI carbon hunter 8 twist. Should be good to go on any of the prefittable Defiance actions. 275 rounds fired and shoots RL26 and N565 really well. Cerakoted Sniper Grey. I've only ever shot the Berger 135 LRHT bullets through it but have killed several critters with that bullet in multiple 25 cal rifles.

If you're not familiar with IBI they are a Canadian made bbl and I've had a half dozen of them in multiple calibers and they have all shot phenomenal.

Looking for $950 shipped net to me. Group pics, reamer print, and some N565 chrono data below. That load was really easy on brass. Definitely room to go up if one wanted

What was your coal with the 135's?

I don't ever measure anything coal unless setting up a dummy round for a reamer. I believe they touch w this reamer at 2.970" but shot them in this barrel and several others at .085" off touch. They hammer there

Nice, so you ran it in a short action?

Yes, runs really well in a short action. Even if you wanted to shoot them close to the lands, the bearing surface of the bullet is above the neck shoulder junction
