[QUOTE="scope-eye, post: 2095071, member: 21274"] I have a 22-243AI and a 22-243 Middlestead, and cannot tell the difference between the two when shooting them. For the first 500 rounds they are match grade target barrels, then from 500 to 1000 rounds they are good varmint barrels, and from 1000 to 1500 rounds they are good hunting barrels. Then I would lop off 1/2 to an inch depending on how inconsiderate I was to the brass when loading them up. Setback, Reset, Rethroat, what ever you want to call it, the times it shot the best was after the first reset my take is that it had a fresh chamber but the rifling was already broken in and the barrel had settled to the final shape it was going to take after all the heat and cooling off cycles. like I said that is just my take what heck do I know.
