[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2549780, member: 4191"] Not in 9-twist. I currently have no 9-twist .308 barrels in use. I've shot the bullet in an 8.5 twist only. During barrel break in, and attempting load development. Truth be told, I purchased two Bartlein CFW barrels and neither one has performed for me so far. I shot the 205gr Badlands with H1000 and N570. My best groups were a little less than 1moa. And in the ~2,975 -3,000fps with N570 & H1000.. I was able to shoot them up to 3,125fps with N570, and 3,050fps with H1000. But no precision up there. I had some wild ES with N570. So then tried H1000. More MV with N570 for sure. I don't necessarily fault these bullets, because I also shot some 215gr Burgers and 225gr ELDs in the 8.5 twist. They didn't shoot any better from this 8.5 twist Bartlein. I lost interest fighting both of my CFW Bartleins and moved on to shooting some other rifles. Some further effort and testing is certainly appropriate before relegating both barrels into fire forming duty. [/QUOTE]
