I finally got to go to the range with a barrel I set back. I bought a Krieger from Mike Davis chambered in his no turn BRX loved the barrel and shot some fantastic groups with it. I felt good enough about it I took it to the IBS Nats last year. A good friend was there and had a bore scope in his trailer, so I asked if we could take a look.
I not only had a carbon ring, but the first 1/2" or so had firecracking. Since I aquired my lathe, I felt this a perfect time to set this barrel back. I have a Henriksen reamer had never been used so what the heck, lets try it.
I took the barrel down to 26" from 28" and chambered it in a 6 Dasher .268" ND with .125" FB, as the greatest shooter on the planet likes that, so I thought heck yeah I can do dat too.
I took 3 bullet styles all charged with 32.5 gr RL15. The first one was terrible, I was concerned I had botched up the barrel, as nothing would come close to touch.
Next bullet was the 105 Hybrid, it clustered up nice, so I dropped down and carefully shot a 3 shot group.
Last but not least was my personal favorite the 105 VLD and the first two went together, but I had the rifle go off before I was ready on shot 3. I knew it was going to be bad, just not sure how bad, so I loaded another round and that dude went right down the middle with the first 2!!
I hope you guys have a great day, and forgive me for being sooo happy!
