I'm using Aero Precision upper and lower, Ballistic Advantage premium barrel and bolt, and Geiselle trigger. Just want to do everything I can to get that little bit more accuracy. With being retired and being a reloader, I do plan on working on lots of practice.My national match & my space gun both shoot under M.O.A. and neither have been lapped together. Use a good barrel , a great trigger , free float hand guard and practice, lots of practice
I'm getting an 18" premium spiral fluted. Fairly stout barrel. I've used BA barrels before and had excellent results.Sounds like you have a very solid build planned.
I know nothing of the ballistic advantage barrel....my only "concern ".....barrel leanth is also a concern. So may I suggest a 20 inch, 1 in 8 (min) twist, heavier profile......
Now for load....my rifles prefer faster powder say 8208 or something in that burn rate area.
I can get 69 SMK TO flat ass hammer at 300 yards and 77's to do the same at 600.
Ok 18 inch will get the job done, you loose a little velocity, but if your not reaching past 400 - 500 yards you will not notice.
Spiral fluted? Unnecessary in my thoughts, but......
So now we need to know what twist rate?
I'm a guessing this gonna be a scoped rifle? Shot off the bench? What is your acceptable accuracy? At what distance?
Thanks. I'm gonna wait till I see how it shoots without lapping. Cold weather makes it hardI'm about 15 minutes N of Nashville IN
