    Re: 168gr vs. 175 gr for Police Sniper Application Buggsb, If you are currently using 168 grain. You may wanna check out the 165 grain trophy bonded bullets. I know one agency in California that uses them for barrier penetration. You will need to log the poa/poi difference. Just my .02 SOTA

    Re: Need advice on ne build. Smokey, I know little about barrels but i will try. For a 308 barrel i would look at a .298 bore"aka tight bore". The palma chamber i think is cut for a 155 grain bullet. May have to use a different reamer for the different bullets out there. SOTA

    .223 Bolt Gun Build

    Re: .223 Bolt Gun Build Splean, I am running a 20" 1/9 Rock barrel. That handles the 69 and 75's VERY well. First time out took it to 650 yards first round hit. Zero'd it at 100, took it to 200 then right out to 600. I'm glad they have ballistic programs. Oh by the way, Texgal was...

    Re: any experience with er shaw barrels? nmntz, The 1/8 or 1/7 will handles the heavy bullets well. I have a 1/9 it works well with the 75's. The 1/14, 1/12 is more for light varmint type bullets. I dunno about E.R. Shaw barrels so can't offer anything on them. Sorry. SOTA
