[QUOTE="slowshot18, post: 2289076, member: 119000"] I’m fully aware that 5 shot strings in a 28 is a death sentence on barrel life. I run a barrel kuhl through the gun after every 2 shots on normal strings. This test today I ran 3 straight, waited 5 minutes then the final 2 to try and see if it was just from being too hot. The 5 shot string had no failures. And yes it has sped up quite a bit. From rounds 20-80 the average was 3070 FPS now at 120 it’s 3170. Still grouping decent when they don’t come apart. Once the rifle is dialed in, it will stay a hunting rifle only. Once season is over, I’ll remove the barrel and throw my 300wm barrel back on (it’s a bartlein MTU so it’s heavy for hunting). I’ll have a few boxes of 177 hammers delivered this week and we’ll see how those do! Haven’t been able to find 175 eldx, 180 vlds, or 195 eols. 177 HH were in stock so those will have to do for this season. [/QUOTE]
