[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1425330, member: 10178"] Well it stopped raining for a day and got warm but the wind was blowing a constant 15-20 mph with 25+ gust. I could not stand it any longer I had to go to the range and shoot my new rifle and the BCA. The OdenWorks 18" barrel build IS A SHOOTER. Even with the hurricane blowing and cleaning after every 5th shot and counting the first shot clean bore shot the groups were not over 1 1/2" with the worst loads. Most were under 3/4". I can't wait to do some serious load work up and shoot on a good day. The BCA is another story. It shot factory Hornady 123 SST to start off into 4" which is better than the first barrel it had. The more I shot it the better it got but still 2 1/2 to 3" was about it with the Hornady 123 SST. I had two rounds left from 3 different loads I was shooting in the OdenWorks and I shot them in the BCA and those with the 123 SSTs did not shoot very well either. BUT I do not know if it was a fluke or not but two rounds with 120 Sierra Pro Hunter cut each other. This same load put 3 in .600" out of the OdenWorks. The BCA also put two 120 Nos BTs within 1" of each other. The OdenWorks put 3 of these into 1.010". I will load up some more 120 Pro Hunters and 120 BTs in a work up and hit the range on the next good day I can get to the range. I really think that the BCA just does not like the 123 SST bullet. But I also have been seeing on different forums that the BCA barrels need 50m to 100 round through them before they start to shoot better. So we will see. If I can't get the BCA barrel to shoot I will just get another OdenWorks barrel 20" and stick on it. [/QUOTE]
