Ace barrels- Anyone using one?

[pburton]

A company that I normally order my barrel blanks from just started carrying Ace Barrel Co blanks. Up until today, I had never heard of them. I tried to search the web for information and reviews, and found very little about them. Anyone know anything about them or used them? Thanks!

I looked through their website but can't find any independent reviews on them. I am tempted to pick one up and give it a try.

Vudoo Gun Works use to use them on their rifles. May still.

I haven't talked to anyone who has tried them yet. I looked into them some and I haven't found much out. I heard a podcast from Shoot2Hunt and they interviewed the guys at Ace Barrels. Their processes and the way they describe them sounds like they're building great barrels and know their stuff. I'm going to try one out for my next barrel and see how it does.

Thinking of trying one, for a contoured cut rifled barrel they seem like a cost effective option

For now anyways lol. Wait a year or two when everyone and their brother is buying them and being successful haha. Options are great though!

Paul - very high-quality blanks. They're a sleeper for sure. The finish is superb. This week we are currently running a 7 PRC through load development with a #5 - these guys are the real deal.

Had a 6.5 prc built using an Ace barrel, 26" medium Palma, 7.75 twist. First 3 out of the barrel went .6" with 140 berger elite hunters and rl26 that were loaded for a different rifle. Mike at Manzella precision is pretty happy with how well the barrel dialed in and how consistent the lands and grooves are. Hope to shoot it more this weekend

I ended up buying one for my 7 PRC build. It shoots fantastic. I shot a 1/2" 3 shot 200 yard group last weekend. I've also taken a cow elk at 500 yards and an antelope at 180 yards this year with it. I'm sold on Ace barrels.

I just traded @bsnyder for an ACE barrel. 6.5mm 7.5T it will be a 6.5 PRC. It will be finished before the end of this month when I come back from CO 1st season. Got everything now, barrel came in two days ago

We'll blow me down! I've been following them regularly waiting for a 6mm blank. I read your post and went directly to their website and low and behold they are available. I'll have one soon.
