X-caliber carbon fiber barrel

That is awesome! That's about the speed I'll be running 88s in the 22gt for my match rifle next season. Glad to see their shooting that good for you! You running a 1-7 twist barrel?

I've had 3 X Caliber Barrels. They are awesome.

1:8 twist!

I've got a Bartlein 22 Creed prefit ready to spin on when this barrel is toast. Decided to go 1:7.5 to try to spin the 95 SMK. Tried it out with the 1:8 and it was pretty laughable.

I only saw a 1-7 or 1-8 I was thinking 1-7.5 too I'll have to look again. Good the know the 1-8 worked with the 88s at that speed my worry was spinning the jackets right off

Whoops, I should have added- the 1:7.5 is a Bartlein, not x cal. But yes, the 1:8 does great with the 88s and below!

I almost pulled the trigger for a carbon last week, in 284WIN, I talked myself out of it for now.......

Do it.

Do it.

I got's to know how that performs?!?!?!?! I'v a 6.5x284N, that's is accurate as hell, but it's meh in the velocity, especially when compared to a 26" 6.5 Creedmoor, I barreled. So I already have the donor, ready to go. I'm thinking a 284WIN, launching a 168gn flavored Berger?

Ha, you and me both. I'm lacking a spare Tikka action for it at the moment, and don't want to disassemble my match rifle, so it might be a while. I've been planning on 162 ELD-X (that's the dummy load in the background), but obviously the Bergers would be great too. So I'll update you in six months maybe?

I've heard that the xcal prefits are the usual problem but the blanks themselves are good. Try a blank and have a good quality smith cut the chamber, I'm sue it'll shoot just fine!
