[QUOTE="ceard, post: 3020741, member: 128297"] I built an upper with one of their match series heavy fluted 18in Grendel barrels, it shot .8in groups with any factory ammo I could find and just over 1.25 with the lacquered steel case (100yards). I may have gotten lucky as it is the only Faxon barrel, I have ever had so I don't have much of a data pool. I sold the upper with it to a buddy who badgered me until I said "Alright 2x cost" thinking he would leave it alone and he instantly said deal. So I begrudgingly sold him the build. Taught me not to offer things lol. Almost two years later and I have yet to build another because I have mostly been messing with my bolt guns. But still having had one that shot the steel case so well I wish I hadn't sold it. The other I still have has a Ballistic Advantage 20in and it shoot good ammo MOA but the steel case averages just around 2" So for the price I will buy one if I remember when the time comes. [/QUOTE]
