Anyone try 155 in 20" 1/12 barrel ?

Ive asked a few questions about these rounds but really haven't heard from anyone that tried it in a 20" barrel. My 168 smk work pretty good at 600 but of course are useless at 1k. If anyone has tried these I'd love to hear your results. thanks

I tried the 155 Scenars out of my 20" AI AE and got sub 1/2 moa accuracy with 5 rds groups out to 300m using 45.5 gr Varget. I didn't try them any further as to take advantage of the projectile at longer distances I would not be able to get them going fast enough with the short bbl.

I use 155 Scenars in my 18.5" 12 twist AIAX barrel. 46.5g Varget, Lapua cases, BR-2 primers, COAL 2.890" IIRC. Work up to this load slowly, as it is a hot one.

It gets 2800 FPS out of my 18.5" barrel and hits better than my buddies 26" gun shooting 175's, at 1000 yards.

45.5gr varget in hornady cases with 155amax gets me 2757 from a 20" barrel. Factory Remington action/barrel. About .6moa

Std load for my 20 and 18- inchers is 45.6g to 46.2 R15.
