[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 514717, member: 25383"] as far as I know they are not. I saw them posted on the bulleten board at a local gun shop. I know several of the shooters, and to be honest about the shooters were 50% of the group size (all were avid benchrest shooters). The guy shooting the smallest groups hand laps every barrel on every gun he shoots, and I've seen some really small groups posted by him (my favorite was a Remington 700 in .270 that was grouping in the very low fours, and that one I know was posted on the internet about six years back). I have a Savage 112BVSS in 22-250 that I rechambered after the throat went away (lots of rounds thru it), and cut .50" off the muzzel for a new crown (basicly ending up with a 24.75" barrel). The chamber is tight, but a standard chamber (no turn neck). It will always shoot 3/8" or smaller groups (often dipping into the very high twos on windless days). The load is 35.5 grains of 3031 with a Sierra 1365 bullet. The rifle has been pillar bedded, and the recoil lug area reworked extensively. Before that I had a 112BVSS-S that with the same load was always in the mid to low threes using the exact same load. (no matter what the trigger sucked on these two rifles!) About the only .223 I shoot much anymore is a 20" barreled Remington. It's a solid fours gun, and a ball to shoot. I shoot 55 gr. Vmaxs at 3270fps using several different kinds of powders (BLC2, H322, H335, and 2015BR). Always seem to come right back to H322 and BLC2 in the end! Not bad for a rifle using a tomato stake for a barrel! gary [/QUOTE]
