[QUOTE="RichCoyle, post: 2893725, member: 127134"] It was a new barrel. The groups ran between 5/8" and 1 1/2" for five shots. It was a 6.5mm diameter. I had it bored to 8mm and switch from Barnes 127 grainers to Hammer Hunter 198 grainers. The run 5/8" to 15/16" for five shots. The barrel is 24" long that matches the smallest contour for the Weatherby Ultralight six lug action; except I had them add .050" to the muzzle which brought it up to .618". The rifle weighs 7lb 4oz with a Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50 in Talley light weight rings. The stock is a Proof Research before they started charging too much for me. [/QUOTE]
