[QUOTE="SupressYourself, post: 198565, member: 340"] Update on this project: I painted the new 6 Creed barrel and scope to match the rifle: [ATTACH=CONFIG]26730._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]26731._xfImport[/ATTACH] I've tried a few different powders and bullets. It does well with Varget and the 87 Berger: [ATTACH=CONFIG]26732._xfImport[/ATTACH] And also H4350 and the Hornady 105 BTHP: [ATTACH=CONFIG]26733._xfImport[/ATTACH] Some may say that 3 shot groups don't "count", but this is primarily a hunting rifle, and still in load development. Overall I like the barrel. It's two inches longer than my previous 243 barrel, yet over 8oz lighter. The one thing I don't like is the gas block. It's a proprietary thing that is not really all that adjustable, so especially when shooting suppressed (like a gentleman), you need an adjustable gas key to keep the BCG speed down. I'd much rather vent the excess gas out the block instead of through the action, but it does work. [/QUOTE]
