I'm optimistic about this barrel. For folks interested in this barrel, please reserve judgement until I've had a chance to run some other loads. By way of comparison, this Green Mountain 20" is more precise than my 16" Faxon and 12.7" Faxon barrels (with Wolf & SSTs).
Years ago, it was a big deal that Hornady started supporting 6.5G with their factory SST load. I never shot any of the older SSTs so I can't comment on the precision of older versus recently produced SSTs. My experience is limited to recently produced SSTs. I'm a sample size of one, with three different grendel barrels who has only shot a few hundred SSTs. Some people reading this will dismiss this barrel because anything greater than sub-MOA is terrible precision, not realizing that Wolf is not super precise in any barrel & SSTs are not generally known to yield sub-MOA performance.
Next up will be Hornady Black ELD-Ms. I'll post the results after my next trip to the range. Hopefully, we'll see tighter groups.
