Try the Lapua or Sierra (123's or 107/108's) and other powders before throwing in the towel. My 22" barrel is very particular and my 16" shoots everything well. I don't have a Shaw barrel so I can't throw any stones but I believe you get what you pay for and the barrel is the most important part in my opinion. 1 moa out of a basic barrel is pretty good, not that you can't get smaller groups from these barrels. You just have to work harder at finding the magic. Kevin
