I've got a 450 Bushmaster barrel on order from Jim and I'm certain it'll be good...but I'd like to see accuracy reports from others who have Apache barrels.

I haven't shot my 257 Weatherby barrel Jim made but I really like his customer service. As soon as I get thru with my other jobs I will post some data on my barrel.

I know I will never buy another prefit, his work is top shelf, and really know wildcats.

Well, My 6WSM has yet to give me a group bigger than 1MOA (that was during initial development) and has been consistently doing 1/2 MOA since. My 450BM with factory ammo was doing 1 to 1.25 MOA at 100yds and I know handloads will bring that number down. And my 250AI I have on my Striker right now just got taken out to the range last weekend and it gave me 1/2" at 50 yds. with an initial thrown together load of Hornady 120 HP's I had lying around. Also keep in mind that I was running a 2x20 scope and I am a novice at shooting a Striker so I was pretty happy with that and now that I have better optics on it and a better feel for it I know I will see some major improvement on those numbers. Also FYI all groups were 5-shot groups.

I am overly happy with Apache Gunworks products. Jim does great and will be making me a couple more in the near future.

Here is a target from my 450 BM. From my Striker at 200 yards. Can't remember which load but it was either a 250 ftx or 240 xtp mag with imr 4227. I am very happy with it.
