Wow. That seems awfully fast regardless of rate of fire. Was it chrome lined too? I smoked a Black Hole barrel in less than 3k once, but that was fed a steady diet of 75ELD's at 2900 fps. 3k is still too soon to die though.

It's fixing to have the biggest turnout of a WI local all year. Pretty surprising considering the potential for crap weather.

3 gun needs this. I know mentioning a common ruleset will get you burnt at the stake in most 3g groups, but they're missing the forest for the trees. During my short time as an MD I used the 3 Gun Nation ruleset because regardless of the way the organization burnt bridges they had a solid, simple rulebook that was stable with no changes, everyone knew it and if someone could find a hole in it it deferred to the USPSA book. But oUtlaW4LyfE! has a lot of fanatical acolytes so it's the way we do things.

That all sounds fair enough.

Because it's not tactical enough for you and you don't hunt therefore you don't like rifles?

Limited or PCC.

That's an unusual perspective. I can count on one hand the amount of 3 gunners I've met over the last 5 years and hundreds of shooters that equate the sport to anything tactical or defensive. Most see it for what it is. A game. Most hunters I know would rather not shoot over 200 yards, while most sport shooters love the challenge of shooting a rifle at rifle distances.

I started shooting USPSA since this thread started. It's a lot of fun, less gear, less stress, less cost and shorter match days. I can see why people like it. But it's not enough to scratch the itch. 3 gun is hard. It kicks you in the nuts. A lot. 3 guns have to work. Multiple ammos need to be zeroed. It takes all day regardless of how bad the weather always gets. It's a whole different level of struggle than USPSA. If that's not your bag you'll never like 3 gun no matter what accommodations are made for you.

I doubt it. UML has been pushing hard to get all the "if it was two guns I'd be there" crowd to come out, but they're always busy Sunday. All the Sunday's in fact.

Best movie I've seen in a long time. Knew going in that there would be at least a part 2, I would've been bothered to learn that in the theatre.

I wouldn't expect any non nitrided or chrome lined barrel to go beyond 10k.

Yeah I'd say that thing is shooting pretty good @emjbe. A 1.5 moa 10 shot group at 200 is nothing to sneeze at. I've been on the fence about trying the RMR bullets for a while, looks like I need to buy some.

My first 4 USPSA matches. Just small locals but I was looking for something to do for fun to unwind from how seriously I take 3 gun. You can see me working really hard to get A's in the first two vids, then accepting some C's and scoring better in the next two. Two M classifiers so far, maybe I should get a USPSA membership.

You're right, I forgot about the powder funnel because I already had a 6mm one before I needed the Grendel shell plate.

6.5 Grendel will work.

Don't waste your money on any brake with side venting baffles. Reducing rise is more important than recoil, and with what little gas there is to utilize you want it all going up.

I don't see myself buying one, but the fact it exists puts a smile on my face.

The only way the rings will work is if you have long arms and need the longest LOP possible in conjunction with a stance that has you not leaning into the gun at all, and a scope with short eye relief. Then, maybe, rings will work out and get you the right eye relief. Pretty much any mount with some cantilever should work, if you have the opposite stance to the described above you might need significant cantilever. I've got some Aero's, they suck but are okay for a cheap light use mount. ADM is great if you want to spend a few more dollars.

I'm curious to see if yours turns out to be a hammer like mine.

Yup.

I own two BA's, and they shoot okay. I own the one Rosco and it's amazing. But that sample size is too small for me to definitively say Rosco is better. I could've just gotten really lucky.

Not on your list @apetrulis01 but I own a Rosco 13.7" that much to my annoyance is both one of the cheapest and most accurate barrels I have. Like .6-.7 five shot groups and very consistent hits on a 16" plate at 750 yards with a 6x scope.

You could be right. I don't have IG but now that I think about it, most of the good stuff I've heard about them has been on YT from the reviewers that I don't really trust..

No hands on experience with either of the barrels listed, but all of the BA barrels I've owned have been just okay, and generally overgassed. Weird to hear about Triarc having issues, they seem to have a good reputation. I also have a 14.5" Core, it's pretty great and worth how long I waited.

Bummer. No one is immune from mistakes though.
