[QUOTE="LambornLR, post: 1497873, member: 105995"] Thanks for all the feedback! I'm glad to hear that most of you are getting good, and even great performance with your CA guns and barrels. Just to give you a little more information, I've tried Berger, Hornady, and Accubond. All had similar results. I also know that the machining, bedding, barrel channel, etc. are good. I've triple checked everything, which included using a borescope to check the throat for any issues. A couple of you have also mentioned that the issue might be the shooter, which to be fair, is often the cause of poor accuracy. However, I can say with absolute confidence that there is a difference between these two CA barrels and other barrels I have used. For example, after going through the load development process, here is an average group I would get with the CA barrels:[ATTACH=full]108486[/ATTACH] I recently pulled the CA barrel off one of the actions and put on a Bartlein. I used all the same components--action, stock, trigger, etc.--and I machined everything using the same process and the same reamer. Here is what the gun did with the new barrel after the first round of load development: [ATTACH=full]108488[/ATTACH] Here is what it is doing now with a little fine tuning: [ATTACH=full]108490[/ATTACH] I love the look and feel of the CA carbon barrels, and it sounds like most of you are getting great performance with them. Thanks again for all the feedback, guys! Here is one of the rifles. I'm putting a new barrel on this one this week. [ATTACH=full]108491[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
