[QUOTE="30BR, post: 2040406, member: 64079"] Barrels are still a little black magic. Years ago, out west, HART rules the roost in Across the Course NRA. This year I had a 6.5-284 I couldn't get to shoot. Not BAD, just not benchrest quality. But my 22-250 9 twist Hart is a good shooter. My Obermeyer 308 was good, not great. Had a great Kreiger, and couple decent ones. My Brux looks like its gonna be a good shooter, but its on a SHTF gun, not a BR gun. Had a LONG conversation with John Kreiger at the Atlanta NRA meeting a few years back, and they were doing metalurgical research on what made a barrel a hummer vs a tomato stake. Because they still can't tell you why one will shoot lights out, and the NEXT barrel will be just "good". So rest assured, you're gonna be dissapointed in a barrel at some point, and thrilled at another. Just NEVER SELL OR TRADE A HUMMER! PS... One of our local BR gunsmiths has expressed a preference for Bartlein, so that's going on the 6.5 in place of the Hart... [/QUOTE]
