I am very impressed with the barrel so far, the finish is top notch, I like it is threaded in 5/8 x 24, the chamber is supper smooth, feed ramps are fairly smooth and line up perfectly. I can't wait to shoot it, I feel like it is going to be amazingly accurate but we will see. It took less than a month to get the barrel in my hands. I am also looking forward to putting that Barska to the test as well. I will definitely report back with groups, scope performance and everything else I can.
I am going to break it in with factory ammo, probably Wolf MPT 120gr and Hornaday 123gr A-Max. I am trying to get to the range this weekend, but I have 3 builds I'm doing now for other people and I really want to get them done asap so it may be next weekend before I can hit the bench.
As far as load development I am starting with Nosler 100gr Ballistic tip Spitzers and Nosler custom comp 123gr HPBT's. As for powder I am using TAC and BL-C(2) and see where they take me. If anyone has any suggestions as far as loads are concerned I would love any input. I am really planning on just starting from scratch and really doing some true load development with this caliber/platform.
Excited!
