[QUOTE="Briancrn113, post: 384216, member: 24638"] Thanks Jamie6.5, with the pencil thin barrels...is that because of barrel whip? I'm not necessarily set on 140's it just seems that the load data I'm seeing doesn't indicate a big difference between the 130's and 140's. Nosler #6 (which seems to not be conservative) says near or just over 2900 fps with a 24" tube. Plus I've always kind of like the heavier end of bullets for each respective caliber. Of course I'll have to let my rifle and results speak to me. If the lighter bullets shoot better that will be what I'll shoot. I am very curious to see what kind of accuracy I'll get with the Lilja barrel. With my skinny factory 20" 6mm tube I could shoot 7/8" groups (3-shot) all day long and I think that was about what the rifle could do, maybe 5/8" in the hands of a better rifleman. For many that is nothing great but for a factory sporter with no trigger work or any other accurizing work it seemed to be good to me. [/QUOTE]
