I just ordered a Wilson 11.5" barrel for my AR and I was wondering what the accuracy will be like out to 300 yards? Will I be able to successfully engage man size targets at this range? Thanks. Steve.
 
Re: AR-15 SBR?

accuracy is not affected by the length of the barrel, just velocity, so with the right dope it will be no problem if you do your part
 
Re: AR-15 SBR?

Second that motion, Joel at Noveske was talking about getting logged consistant hits at 600 yards with a 7 inch barrel but just enough energy to mark.

I'm doing a 10.5 inch Noveske myself.
 
Re: AR-15 SBR?

I had a 12.5 Noveske that was fantastic. You'll like it - no problems out to 300 or more, just way handier length!
 
Re: AR-15 SBR?

I can hit man sized targets fine with my 10.5. 7 clicks up from 100yds.
 
Re: AR-15 SBR?

anybody know what the velocity would be at 300 yards with this lenght barrel?
 
Re: AR-15 SBR?

I got a 20" Wilson HBAR for my AR and paid $200 for it! Brand new, I forget what website I got it off of tho. It shoots Sub-Moa with factory loads and even better with hand loads.I dont see how much better you could get paying $500 for a Krieger bbl. Maybe I just got a good one out of the bunch. Paying for the name. Nothing against Krieger I have a MTU bbl and another for a AR but when you pay $200 for a barrel that shoots just as good as one you paid over $500 for it makes you wonder.
 
Re: AR-15 SBR?

What they said. I have several SBR's and accuracy is no problem at 300 yards especially if you have the optics for it. I can hit man sized targets at 300 with a micro and no magnifier relatively easy. 8" steel at 200 as well but the dot can be dicey especially if not zeroed to the enth.
 
Re: AR-15 SBR?

shoot with my 10,5 barrel with elcan specter out to 400m without any problems,but 500m no way,bullets starting to travel too much
ammo was SS109 NATO with 62grs. bullet
