    Yep 16" 1:8. Love it would cut down to 16 inch any day.
    I have been using 55g V Max at 3200 f/sec but have just started working up a 75gr A Max load. I'm getting over 3000 f/sec, not bad out of 16 inch. But at this stage have not settled on a final load for it.

    Whats your load for 3200 fps from a 16 inch tube if you don't mind me asking?

    Cheers

    26.1gr of BM2 with a CCI primer. It's not over hot but just seems to work really well and with low ES

    Cool, thanks for that. I clearly have a slow barrel because I'm running more BM2 than that out of a 22 inch tube and only getting marginally faster speeds

    General consensus seems to be to chop it so I sent it off to the gunsmith this afternoon.

    Cheers all.

    I think you will like it.... a bit late if you don't

    It will be interesting to run your load down your shortened barrel to see what speed you get then?

    Yeh I don't know if it's a fast barrel or what. I'm getting 3015 f/sec with the 75gr A Max using 25.8gr BM2, which I think is pretty fast too.

    Is that with a standard .223??!?!! How's your pressure? Because that's getting towards max (Ie blown primers type max was 3100) with 20" .223AI
