I have a 20 inch stainless barrel that has been sent back to Texas to be re-throated, as it was so short that factory ammo was showing pressure signs. I got the barrel back and now it is fine for factory ammo with Ok accuracy. Make sure if you are hand loading do a measurement of your barrel throat for each bullet you plan to use. Do Not Use OAL as a reference number as you will be jamming the round on any thing over 100grain. So befor you buy ask the seller when the barrel was manufactured if it was after July of 19 you have a good chance that they used the right reamer. I have developed loads using 120gr sierra matchking and 130gr sierra gamekingthat over IMR8208XBR shoot 3/4 moa up to 200 (max target range at my local range).
