@@EagleEyeShootingI hope this improves your groups. #1 Wear a shooting jacket #2 Weigh ALL of your ammo ( 22lr ) to select a pile that is identical #3 Rim your ammo ( sizing tool that measures the rims to exclude crappy rims, allows back bleeding of pressure ) #4 Throw your tripod in the pond and get a glove #5 Get a sling #6 Get a sling clamp #7 Drop your trigger pull to 3/4 of a pound #8 Fire 3 shots to warm your barrel #9 Develope zoom eye ( if you can't master zoom eye, you can forget making the Olympics) #10 Ear pods with ac/dc or anything old school #11 Now shoot same hole Leave out any one of these ( provided you began with a same hole gun ) and you will be able to count your shots on paper as they will not be in a single hole. I recommend using ammo from the 50's-60's, new 22 lr is sloppy manufactured. Once you have achieved same hole, grow a set and switch right to left or vise versa and start all over ( you MUST switch eyes ) again until you can do it both ways. The remark about the Olympics, if your over the age of 25, you can forget it. It's a contest of young eye sight. About the time you hit 26, your eyes are too fried for À DVANCED COMPETITION

I just ordered a full build, and she helped me throughout the process answering my many questions extremely fast. I also just got exposed to what you just stated by LETTING YOU DO YOUR JOB picking out a barrel for me. I was thinking the 3 B's Benchmark Brux Bartlien but like your wife stated let him do the picking. 😂 So now the wait begins. Looking forward to this build very much.

I have a little more pull to get "selected" barrels due to the quantity I order. Then my air gauge sorting takes over. Im excited you chosen me to build the rifle.

Have you tested barrel indexing for accuracy? 6:00 firing pin location? Firing pin spring isolation? I know you tested barrel length, but what about length to contour relationships? Bore uniformity by measuring slugging force uniformity? Chamber finishing by various methods? I would also be interested in whether or not you subscribe to Bill Calfee's "parallel node' idea or not. I personally think that adaptive, or constructive harmonics should be possible. Allowing a slightly slower round to launch at a slightly higher bore angle later in the vibration cycle, resulting in the two different speeds landing in the same hole at a given range. This effect was originally noticed with the Enfield rifle in centerfire competitions. Varmint Al did a fairly in depth finite element animation analysis of the vibration patterns for various rifle configurations back in the day. I'm pretty sure that the forces at play haven't changed much since then. One other point that no one seemed to look at was the minimum deformation of the micro groove rifling. 12 or 16 very shallow land/groove rifling as opposed to 2, 4, or 6 much deeper lands.

I’m curious Kenny how was your experience with Krieger? I’m not a gun smith by any means. With that said I put together a couple AR builds 1-308 & 1-223. I chose to go with Krieger based on JRB’s AR-10 series. I’m very happy with both of those barrels I’ll probably continue buying them. Now I’m curious about picking up a 22lr barrel from them. So I figure why not ask how they preformed for you.

When you are switching ammo you don’t need to worry if it’s the same lube but when it’s different lube do you need to clean or just “shoot out” the old lube (how many rounds for that on average?) Also how important is or should lot testing be? I’d like to try several different ammos to see if my barrel is “saveable” but don’t want to test 10 lots of each lol.
@EagleEyeShooting
Жыл бұрын
I typically shoot 10 rounds (while still testing for accuracy) before I determine the barrel is "normalized" for that particular ammo's lubricant. Results vary of course. Lower grade barrels may have more tooling marks which result in needing more fouling shots. As for lot testing, you want to be around the 1060-1080 mark with high end ammo. Lapua Center-X/Midas +, SK Long Range/Rifle. Try Eley if your barrel is 22" or longer. If it doesn't shoot consistent within .100" average I personally would consider looking into another barrel or other accuracy issues

Staying subsonic actually is more accurate at longer distances. The 22lr projectile is very prone to destabilization when passing through the transonic velocity barriers.
