[QUOTE="RonS, post: 1056343, member: 68613"] That's interesting. I had the 111 LRH and traded it for the BA110 (now thinking about trading that for the FCP). I think they have the same barrel, same length and same twist rate anyway but different muzzle breaks. I was having trouble getting 250 grain bullets to shoot as well as I wanted. My barrels just seemed to like the 300's so now I'm using 300 SMK's running them at a little over 2800 fps with no stuck brass and 1/2 MOA accuracy (in ideal conditions when I do my part). The load is 90 grains of H1000, 300 SMK's set .020 off the lands. Didn't even think of going to that light weight of a bullet with the 1-9 twist. What kind of accuracy and velocity are you getting and what does your load look like? [/QUOTE]
