Rainier arms ultra match 308 accuracy?

[robdes]

I know that some of the peeps on here have bought these barrels. How are they shooting for you? I have a 16" and I'm not too happy with it. It seems to average about 1.5 MOA w/ FGMM. I had a professional shooter confirm this (He works up loads for other peoples guns.) He did get one decent group with his pet load, but he also sprayed a bunch. Rainer has offered to either replace it, give me store credit, or give me my money back. (Rainier is a great outfit to deal with. I've bought a bunch of stuff there and will continue to do so.) If some of you report back that you are getting good results, I'll try another barrel. If not I'll have APA spin me a Rock Creek at twice the cost.

Thanks for the info.

I have a RA 16" Ultra match barrel on a ma/ten build. I have tested 155 Amax,155 Nosler CC 10 shots both under 1MOA with my reloads. I have shot USA ammo's 168gr with very good accuracy as well the velocity is a little weak though. I'am going to stick with the Nosler 155 CC's after reading KevinB's post on the plastic tip bullets in a 308 semiauto and the Nosler's are cheaper than the Horndays and have a better BC hope this helps.

If you're not happy with it send it back, otherwise could just be a finicky eater.

Have you tried working up any loads?

I don't currently reload, but you might be right.
