[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1034928, member: 33822"] I have a semi-custom built with a pac-nor ultralight 24" barrel. It's my dedicated pack rifle, and I only use it out to mid-range when I'm hunting. Thin barreled rifles can shoot extremely well, but it takes a lot more focus and control as the shooter to put the bullet where you want it. And I will say that developing a load for a thin barrel, in my opinion, is actually very easy. Thin barrels whip so much that if your load is not tuned, they shoot downright awful. And that makes it so easy to find a tuned load because the results are so drastically different. Maybe it was just my rifle, but it would shoot 2+ inch groups with un-tuned loads, but once I found the sweet spot, it zipped right up to a legitimate 1/2 MOA rifle. [/QUOTE]
