Buying a Barrel Q

[Fret]

Does it help accuracy if you get a "matching" bolt when buying a barrel? If I already have a new bolt is it a worthwhile expense?

Got the answer. Called CLE and after talking to them, ended up ordering a bolt with the barrel.

I ordered my Kreiger 6.5 barrel from John at Keystone Accuracy and just sent my bolt to him for headspacing. Either way, it’s a good thing to have the bolt headspaced to the barrel.

Yup, that's what I was told and could have sent the bolt I had in but decided to just buy one.

Hey, anyone know if there is a difference in accuracy between Black Hills 77gr .223 and 5.56 ammo? This is with either the Wylde or CLE chambered barrels? I'm not sure which one to order or just order both?
