Bear Creek Arsenal Complete Uppers

[Twkenny]

Got another warranty BCA upper delivered yesterday. Using the same bullet (Nosler 120 BT with a Nosler recommended 2.245" COL) that I have used all along, the max COL for this chamber/throat is still only 2.222". Guess sending in the spec sheet didn't help afterall.

Strike 3!!!

However, fit and finish of this complete upper is the best so far, so I am going to load up some shorty Nosler 120 BT rounds and give it a whirl. I am also going to try some Nosler 129 ABLR because they will be able to be loaded to a COL of 2.274" for this chamber and is the bullet that I would like to deer hunt with if I can get acceptable accuracy with it.

In the end I may just have to get another barrel, but we shall see.

Alexander Arms has barrels for $195. I was going to get one of those for the BCA upper assuming my replacement would be junk as well, but I'm going to hold off for now and see if some handloads close up my groups.
