[QUOTE="levers4life, post: 2122901, member: 106617"] Just my personal experience side notes. 1) I started with an 18" barrel (I don't remember what brand) the results were poor accuracy - 2" groups at 100. To be fair that was with factory Hornady SST ammo and I didn't chase it with my own loads. But, when I switched to the 20" 5R barrel it really changed things. This rifle will out shoot me for sure! 2) I found 8208XBR to be the best powder (that I have tried) for accuracy and speed, every little bit counts with this cartridge. I run Hornady brass, Hornady 123gr SST's, 8208XBR & CCI Primers - Bullets set out to longest mag length possible. This combo has been the best I've found for me. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck & Safe shooting! [/QUOTE]
