Back in June I ordered up a barrel from Straight Jacket Armory - @StraightShooter77 as I needed a new 6.5 Creedmoor barrel for my new AI AT. I wanted something that could push the 6.5mm pills a bit further so ordered up a 26" Heavy Palma, I recently received it but have yet been able to get it out to see what I can do because of other responsibilities, but I will soon and report back on how well this shoots. I will say this, communication during the wait was outstanding as I received several phone calls from the team letting me know what stage it was in and before final chamber and polish Nick called me up and asked about the freebore. I told him that my desire was mostly to shoot factory Hornady and Berger 140's out of it and he recommended a .170 freebore, I also have some Hornady 147's and were not sure how well those will do but I'll give them a try anyway and report back. Upon receiving the barrel it was excellently packaged in a thick tube with lots of bubble wrap and once I finally got the barrel out I saw it had the best polished chamber I've ever seen. So here's hoping that it shoots as well as it looks!
