I dont know what to tell you. They are visible on both PC and mobile for meTried
Glad I found this thread! I was about to start a build and found a Rainier Match barrel I liked.... Anyone know what the difference is from the Match to Ultra Match? Thanks!
@Rustybroadhead biggest difference between Match & Ultramatch is the blank. Both lines are made the same way. We just use a much nicer blank on the UM.
We do offer a 90 day guarantee on all of our barrels. You buy one, shoot it and don't like it? Send it back for a full refund.
Too bad I must have missed the barrel sale it doesn't work today
Wonder why they went with the .800 gas block journal. Seems like a bit of an oddball.
....interesting results on the 8208, just wondering if the +2 gas system is contributing to that cycling issue?
Everything was shot over the Labradar and data is on the targets
Fast... what powder will be best idk. This is my first 224V barrel/testing. Loving the 88 ELD's at 2650 right now though.
You have any RamShot Tac?? I use it for .223/5.56, 6.5 Grendel, .308, and 6mm Fat Rat.
I loaded up 100rd with my CFE223 / 88 ELD-M load to go test at distance today. I zerod the rifle at 200yd since the 100yd range had people on it and I didnt want to wait. Once dialed in at 200yd I punched my data into JBM and started shooting at 300, 400, 500. I then setup my new ShootSteel.com 12'x20" AR500 1/2" plate at 636yds.
It was a very windy day with big gusts consistently. I was very impressed with this load. It was super soft shooting and very consistent. I guess those of you wondering if you need a 1:6.5 or 1:7 can see this 1:7.5 twist 22" Rainier Ultramatch is hammering away with the 88 ELD's.

500yd - I didnt measure this one
636yd - 4.8" Spread / 0.72 MOA
Thanks for the update and also for helping to show that a 6.5 twist barrel is not needed.
On another note, I have not started loading for mine yet, but the load data is nice to have. May I ask what dies you are using for yours?
So I was able to get out and start testing the first barrel this week. I was very happy with the initial results.
20" Rainier Ultramatch .223 Wylde - Rifle Gas
77smk never disappoint. This barrel loves them. I also tested Hornady's 73 ELD-M as well which shot good. Both of these bullets shot great in my previous 20" Rainier Ultramatch (Shilen) barrel so its nice to see they shoot just as good in this new MOD2 barrel. All shooting was done at 100yds over the LabRadar with the new Athlon Ares ETR.
Next up I will do a seating depth test with loads selected from each target.
Besides the primer that’s exactly what my ultramatch SPR likes@padom,
I speed read this. I think I took away: LC brass, Hornady 75 BTHP, 23.4 gr IMR 8082, Rem -7-1/2. OAL was?
I know a lot of you have seen my various posts showing how accurate my Rainier Ultramatch 223 Wylde and 300 BLK (Shilen) barrels are. I've received requests from a bunch of the members asking me to test Rainier's new Ultramatch MOD2 barrels. Well wait no longer, Rainier went above and beyond and sent me 4 Ultramatch barrels in all the calibers I have been asked to test, Superlative Arms AGB gas blocks for all the barrels, gas tubes, and their new Nitrided 308 High Pressure BCG!!
I am really looking forward to testing these barrels to see how they compare to the original Ultramatch's. Rainier's Ultramatch MOD2 barrels are using high quality blanks and all the gunsmith work is top notch.
I have 1 product to review before I start testing these which I hope to be next week. With what feels like 6 months of straight rain here in the northeast, things have gotten a little backed up. I will be starting with the 224 Valkyrie first and have 250pcs of new Starline brass, Hornady 88 ELD-M and 75 ELD-M and 80 Amax that I will be using for the testing. I dont have any 90gr stuff but might pick some up and test later down the line since I cant test every bullet out there.
Here's some teaser pics. Stay tuned....
