I have been hitting dog towns for the last 6 years with buddies. Running 223 Ackley. Initially I was running a Proof Competition Contour that I had a local smith open up to Ackely Improved. IT would shoot bugholes with 53 VMax at 3400 and 77 SMK at 2960 - XBR8208. I screwed that barrel up with a 6mm Cleaning rod. Yes (6mm wont go far down the barrel of a 223). Bought a Bartline CF 26" 223 and had it chambered to 223 AI. Shot ok groups, but the loss of weight lost some stability. Had my smith spin up an Ospery 1.25 straight taper in 223 AI and took that the last 2 trips. IT shot 80 ELDM's pretty tight, but seemed less so with the 53 vmax (3400) and 62 eldvt's (3200).

I need new Barrel (old setup wont fit in new stock) and am looking at Remington Varmint/Sendero contour. HERE IS THE REAL QUESTION. What rifiling do I go with. 1:7 is my thought - though I could be ok with 1:7.5 or 1:8. In PRS the 5R was the answer for consistent accuracy in a 6mm. Looking at Bartline's website they indicated short light for caliber bullets 35-60 in 224, dont really like 5R rifling....... This kind of consides with my current barrel accuracy issues (perhaps percision is a better term)

Anyone got any feedback with 4 Groove vs 5R in lighter bullets on a 223 Centerfire?

Thanks for the feedback.

I looked into it a little bit and it seems Bryan Litz noticed this too (see below). Apparently there are two different versions of the bullet. One is a bit longer than the other. I checked and all the factory ammo I have from the past year has the less opaque ballistic tip (which is the bullet that shot much better for me).

I would note that something similar happened to me with the 140 grain ELD-M bullets. They shot great and then when I bought a new box they sucked. I would guess there is something similar going on. At the time I didn't pay much attention to it and didn't notice/check if there was a difference in the ballistic tips or the dimensions between those that shot well and the ones that didn't.

Anyway, I have no idea how to know which version I am getting when I buy a box of bullets. I guess I'll have to do some load development and switch to a different manufacturer.

There appears to be two different versions of the Hornady .264 caliber 147 grain ELDM. One is a longer nose, lower drag, higher (but less consistent) BC, while the other is a shorter, higher drag,...

Well, if you go to a different manufacturer, you'll still find significant differenced from lot to lot in their BTO's. This is true even for the likes of Berger bullets.

We've shipped a bunch already. We have LH inlets done and we're making more forends/stocks right now.

Ok I wasn't sure because the times I have checked it says backordered

The stippling was a hassle and a half to do, but that's at least finally done. Feel a bit silly only sharing pictures of the same thing, over and over as it slowly progresses. Other than the steel and stainless needing to be nitrided, it's pretty much done now though. Otto Repa was impressed by it, and thought it looked just like what he originally designed. So that was kinda cool to hear.

Mine was done in Jan 2013 ...seperated at birth?

How much you want to bet the newer version is cheaper to manufacture?

Does anyone know if they will sell me just a barrel? I'd like to buy one

Seems like I remember once or twice that the easiest way to reach Brandon is on IG. I don't have IG but I also don't have a way to compete in the contest. The time needed, the time needed on a range to get out several hundred yards, etcetera. But I enjoy the show and root for each person. We can talk about it but that is different than doing it. Reminds me of what Mike Tyson said.

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

I think you're right about IG. I don't have IG but emailed him a couple times and got lucky and ran into him personally. He was a cool guy. His mom and a couple other from his inner circle were there and they were all super nice, fun people.

I like to run 14-15 rnd mags so I can dump a loaded rnd and still have enough to finish the stage. Granted, a poor solution, but it is what it is.

Clayt6499 · Jun 2, 2025

Ultradyne UD5 5 slot chassis with spigot extension like new. Comes with an MDT premier vertical grip and MDT Carbine composite buttstock. 700 short action inlet. Insanely lightweight setup and makes for an awesome short handy setup for a hog rifle. Barrels action and scope not included. $450 for the whole deal shipped to your door. Thank you. Spigot is not included in photos but I can send one on request if you’d like to see what it looks like.

So I like the GB chassis but it really wasn't ever meant for PRS. For PRS we use the Hyve chassis since it comes on both right or left hand. It had a detachable forend but it's dovetailed in so there's no flex. The Hyve is definitely in the next tier of pricing though than the GB. The GB is perfect for a carbon barrel folder to walk in the woods and hunt squirrels

When will the Hyve left hand 457 inlet be available?

gregy62 · Jun 2, 2025

Can you give me a call about the scope at 606-416-4691

codym · Jun 2, 2025

Yea I’m still looking what are the specs

rothgyr · Jun 2, 2025

Looks like he's been shooting NF for a long time based on his IG.

I will say, someone coming from a MK5 and being wowed by any scope's FOV wouldn't be surprising, lol.

The ring to which you refer is called a Modifier Disk (MD). What is does is reduce the size of the aperture (objective) by 50% and thus increases the depth of field viewed through the riflescope. The objective lens diameter is 52MM, and it makes for a handy riflescope. I have one on an AR-10, a rifle which is heavy enough as it is without plunking a heavy riflescope on it.

How do you like the LDK reticle?

I find the clicks on the shuriken turrets to be very positive and extremely accurate. I have the same turrets on my Majesta sitting on top of my match rifle and I really like them. However, I would like to know what you do not like about them.

I have not banged up my scopes like you have, yet, so I'm glad to hear about your torture test experiment. Those 4mm thick tubes can really take some punishment.

It makes a big difference. I really like the LDK, it’s clean .2 mil holds are a must for me. The experiment definitely wasn’t intentional, but I’m clumsy. I’m really glad it held up as well. I will do another one when I get time just to confirm windage adjustments are correct as well. They did a great job with this optic.

My biggest takeaway from the weekend’s festivities is to ponder how many Chinese, Iranian, or hell, even Russian-owned trucks loaded with drones there are just sitting in warehouses all over the US waiting for the go order.

There’s a reason the Chinese have bought up so much farmland around our military bases, and with at least a Division’s worth of personnel now just wandering around our interior, they can wreck a lot of havoc taking out critical infrastructure…including hospitals, nuke power plants, etc.

I hope we never discover just how devastating Biden’s open border policy hurt us, but suspect we’re gonna pay a big price for the auto pen’s lackadaisical approach to vetting the millions of people streaming across our borders over the past 4 years before Trump got back in.

God help us…. And I mean that literally.

This is simply all my speculation, but I believe the tip could indeed have been made from a different material.

As far as the measurement changing, that's just your typical hornady lot to lot variation.

It's not like they're known for consistency, quite the opposite actually.
