[QUOTE="Deleted member 115654, post: 2029108"] Bought his at auction because I am a great fan of Schultz & Larsen. It is a custom in 223. [ATTACH type="full"]227332[/ATTACH] I went through and cleaned it up including cleaning the bore to bare metal and the Dyna Tek coating system. Then off to the range. Only ammo handy was 5.56 green tips 62 gr and Fiocchi 55 gr fmjbt. Set up target @ 25 yards, bore sighted and sent the green tips down range. 3 made a 5" group hitting the target sideways (keyholing). Then I tried 3 of the 55s, they went in one hole. Adjusted the scope and went to 100 yards. 5 of the 55s made a nice round 1.5" groups. (The same ammo has never been any better in my match grade AR) Seems to me this barrel has a slow twist and I should try bullets in the 40-50 gr range with a short bearing surface. Suggestions welcome. [/QUOTE]
