    Barnard Switch Barrel, 22 TM, 22 CM, 6 CM

    Brought this 20 year old Barnard 223 a wee while ago, with two bolts so I decided to turn it into a switch barrel, this is it with a 24" Bartlein 1-7 Remington Varmint profile chambered in 22 Creedmoor



    Took it up the range today with a few different loads using the 88 ELDM & 90 A-Tip



    Gets along pretty well, even in the wind this arvo at 217 Yards




    Must find some time to put the other two barrels on & run them up as well

    Brass, powder lots, actions & barrels are all different so I would rather not mention the load

    Book max with that combo is 43.9gr at 3250 so an extra 300fps is gonna be spicier than an indians long drop
