Okay...here are the facts for now:
- Given the "easier to clean, better accuracy, less bullet deformation" fact, i feel that I *would like* true 5R
- 5R 416 Steel is *not* available with Faxon currently...
- I do not want to pay over $350 for barrel (some day I'll get that Lilja or JP probably, but right now im not ready to cash out $750)
Given the above facts.. what are other options there for me?
- still go with BA barrel which is 5 but no "R"?... so they *guarantee* subMOA... but then again i kinda like perks of 5*R*
uh...the BA sale ends tomorrow evening so I need to decide soon :/
- Or go with the 18" 416 Steel Faxon 5R barrel?

can above barrel also do subMOA?
BUT... darn...then I will not have 20"
(does anyone has any measured data on how much bullet velocity is lost for 18" vs 20" length? say for... 123gr SST? I'd appreciate that!)
Can I shoot effectively 1km with 18" just as I would with 20"?
I'm now puzzled... anyone knows another brand who makes 416 Steel subMOA 5R grendel barrel for ~$350-ish
