no sweat mitch,
yes for a bargain basement rifle it's wonderful.
to get a much more accurate rifle i have a feeling it would take a lot more money.

i put some rounds through it today with about the same results as shown above.
i need some 168 gr. bullets.

The 180 Sierra matchking does work good in a 1in10"twist -06 26" barrel using either H4350 or IMR 4831 at 2700fps.but the 168gr matchking worked well in the .308 26"bbl 1in10"twist using IMR 3031 and H380 at 2600fps.Altho the -06 had a slight advantage in trajectory at 300yds and beyond the .308 shot tighter groups.These were match grade bullets and tight tolerence chambers.The loads were not quite Sierra,s max.The .308 is a non expanding chamber.To me the 180gr in a .308 just takes too much powder space,eleminating the slower burn rates that I believe would work better with long barrels.I believe I could make 180,s work if I had more freebore. sam.

i removed all traces of copper fouling yesterday and it took 20 fouling shots before the groups started to tighten up.
i am not going to treat this bbl. for copper again until accuracy starts to suffer.

Good idea billy. I recommend you don't bathe for 20 days either!
