What are your thoughts on 4DOF since it uses muzzle velocity as a known parameter? Sounds like you might like that better than the AB method...
You could just shoot 6.5 and use Strelok like the smart people do
Instead of pondering Sonics and other nonsensical bs

Depends on the round used, the friction of the barrel, and the thermodynamic characteristics of that barrel. No one can given an answer. Just start writing down speeds over time. Ultimately, there should be a change as a new barrel "breaks in and settles down" no diferent than the horsepower of a car when first built versus the power of that car after the engine is broken in. Don't think anyone is really going to give you a better answer. Give it a couple hundred rounds and see what happens.
AI doesn’t just make you a great shooter,
It also makes you a pretentious Ballistic professor!
C’mon we all know what happens when you own one.

This is supposed to be an AI pic thread not an AB ballistics theory thread...
so back on topic please.

My bad.Bro, we're trying to nerd out over here on some super serious high brow theoretical ballistic shit; super important high end stuff! ....and you're butting in with some mouth-breathing day 1 shit like, "Do barrels speed up?".

I left out the word when.
As such, I shall new rephrase:
“When (as in round count) do the AI UK barrels in 308 begin to speed up?”
That should do it.
-Stan
I’d say 100-200
Seen some barrels as quick as 80
24 or 26" barrel? Hella gorgeous AW. Loving the Parker Hale bipod on it... I ought to grab one some day. What's the scope? I don't recognize it.
Mohawks are an option too. I chose the latter. I'll make this photo a one time thing.

Fess up, Burt, you were wearing your yellow sun dress with the red pumps when you took that picture…

Someone enlighten me on that mount height and cant choice. Seems.. excessive.
I saw this rifle mentioned a couple of weeks ago here:
Germany's New HK416 Service Rifles Appear At Panama Test Site
Germany's evaluation of new G95-series rifles in Panama and Arizona follows reports it scaled back or even skipped key testing initially.

And then found this:

The first of 780 Scharfschützengewehr G22A2 sniper rifles in .300 Winchester Magnum calibre were recently fielded by the German Armed Forces.

Makes me wonder what clip-ons they’ll employ. Really limits the options if that was a consideration. Midwave can accommodate the different cant angles, but not as easily done with long wave. I2 is less of a problem.
They are just victims of the system.
Probably did that so no matter what clip on they use or have access to, or future procurement, will all fit
I've updated the post with a web link to detailed information on the G22A2. But here it is as well just in case:

Hi guys I just got an accuracy international AT. Im looking for an aftermarket 6gt barrel for it, I want to know who makes best at quick change barrel?
We should ask Germans to send us the AWM skins.View attachment 8506980

The G22A2 is an AWM in the AXMC-style chassis.
Did you buy that rifle from Rex? That’s one of the first 5 Accuracy Obsession chassis prototypes I made.
Nah if you use 308 you wake up trans next morningHas anyone tried this ammo out of their AI’s?
Makes more sense for training and positional work spending less than a buck per round.

Took the little lady out on a date and had a mk12's maiden voyage. She loves the clone m118lr and 168fgmm.
Also, got data on 168 gr loads from a 16" barrel for those wondering from before.

Why do Germans always have the sickest drip? I mean take the insignias out of the picture (to be politically correct so nobody gets a hard on me this evening), since ww1, you know…View attachment 8506980

Real men win matches with .308
Best I ever did was 3rd overall with a 308....a m40a5 clone no less AND I had a pulmonary embolism right after the awards. So really...I won.
Yea it's pretty weak sauce honestly... Why stop at 40? Why not 100?It's not just PRS. When I shoot AR tactical matches or certain divisions of USPSA I will use 40rd Magpul mags or big stick 2011 mags. It's just a competition. It's not combat.
I haven’t even tried (PRS specifically)
My old man has though. It was a cool moment.
Seen it happen 2-3 times
The production version has a longer forend with a different mounting type for the NV bridge, and a different internal weight.
I don't think they should be restricted....I think people should learn to do mag changes... Why did 12 round stages come about? But I digressAre you sure magazine capacity restrictions is what you want to hitch your wagon to?
Because it helped big pharma…. I mean the big magazine companies to help with sales
Do you think 12 round stages just magically started happening because that's ideal number per stage lol
If the intent of the 15 round stage was to do a mag change and you brought a 17rd mag just to game it I mean I guess which is pretty much what all of prs has said.
I agree why 10... Why even reload at all? Why not just belt feed it? Why not a drum?
I'm not arguing that things can't progress.... You will get a 16+rd aics pattern mags when md start doing 15+ round stages on the reg .... I'm not scorning the mfg they are filling an obvious demand.
Pretty sure I made 0 assumptions or comments as to your abilities home skillet nor did I make any comparisons to my own
I am merely providing free commentary on a sat night to something I find comical about the competitive shooting world. It's not the first time and won't be the last
