I have one in 308 win that I have 455 rounds through.. It's a 26" SS 1:10 twist and I can shoot 1/2 MOA at 100 yards pretty easily. I have shot some 1/2 MOA groups at 600 with it but typically I'm around 3/4 to 1 MOA at distance.. I have shot some bad groups also but I blame them on myself and chasing load development... This is also my first aftermarket barrel.. Good luck and hope this helps...

612 yards (3 shots)

Good shooting, did you get the barrel from them directly and does the barrel clean up easy does it copper up.

Thanks

I got the barrel from Jim @ Apache... I've not used any copper solvent in this barrel yet, just some Hoppes #9 and a few patches.
