[QUOTE="L.Sherm, post: 2488380, member: 102083"] I dont claim to be an " expert". I have no dog in this fight, all I can pass one is ive shot 3 proof steel barrels and 4 or 5 Carbon ones and the all have shot well I cant say maybe BR accuracy but thats not what I expected either. Last year I put on a 6.5 - 8 twist Proof carbon on a Defiance Anti-X and it will shoot 4" groups at 871 yards off a bipod if I do my part Seems alot of people have high expectations out of a certain barrel especially velocity because so and so had done it. Here's an example that happened to me when I first put my 30-28 with a barrel I made myself, the first 100 rounds it wouldn't go any faster than right at 3000fps with a 215 no matter what powder or how much I put in it. I was just about to pull it off thinking I made a tomato stake for myself took it out 1 last time and out of the blue it came to life and I didn't do anything different as far as powder or charges than I had the first 100 rounds. Why that barrel did that I have no idea my guess there was a piece of the 12' bar stock it was cut from for whatever reason took forever for it to speed up and that fast. Ive seen inclusions in pieces of barrel steel that haven't showed up untill there either heat treated after button pulling or once in a Kreiger not untill after 200 rounds were on the barrel and it wasn't there when it was new.
