WOA will not quote grouping. I was wondering what avg groups I might see with the SDM or the standard barrel?

16 inch .223 <span style="font-weight: bold">SDM </span>Barrel with 1-7 twist--Price: $370.00
16" .223 Barrel 1-7 twist--Price: $273.00

I can hit a 8" square plate @ 600 with 69's a lot of the time. The wind keeps me on my toes.

I've never really shot for 100y groups.

18" SPR Mid-Gas 1-8.
69gr SMK
23gr H335
Two Stage Trigger
Troy Battle Rail

I like this set-up. It's light and the recoil is non-existant.
 
Re: 16" WOA barrels ...what kind of groups?

My white oak spr barrel (wilson blank) was around MOA or a little better.

3/4-1" at 100
1.5-2" at 200
3" or so at 300

Shot lots of 77nosler and 75hornady loads using varget and those kinds of groupings were what I got almost all the time.

My rainier ultra match is better but not by a whole lot.

White oak barrels can't be beat for under 300 if you ask me.

I do not see spr in 16". The two I have listed are all they have.

Mine was an 18" not a 16. I would be very, very very surprised if their 16" barrels didn't shoot similarly...

fwiw my ultra match is a 16"...same profile as the white oak only different blank (shilen with ratchet rifling)...
