28 inch heavy varmint 223 barrel

[acemisser]

Found a good deal on a 223 wylde barrel in 28 inch length..
What your thought on this for bench shooting? 7 twist..
.800 at the muzzle..I can always hack it off of the need be
to do so..lol..thanks...Rizzo:confused:

I shoot a 25 7t with great results. The longer barrel should help with velocities. What's your intended purpose and what bullets are you planning on using?

[acemisser]

strictly bench or bipod for 500 yard or longer f class..And the plan is heavy as I can with bullets..

[Bigt240]

I shoot 80 amax because there cheap out of mine. You should be set to shoot 80s. If you plan in going with the 90s you "should" look into .169 freebore or thereabouts so you can seat them long enough. I went with a wylde chamber and havent had the need to shoot anything heavier than 80. I shoot mine in 600yd fclass.

I've been shooting 77smk's out of my f class barrel, 11.2 mils to 1K, hangs right with the 6.5 CM to 600. I have some 80's to try once I get enough brass to reload.

I shoot a 28" Wylde in my .223 also. Love the 28". 25gr Varget with an 80gr bullet gets me just over 3000fps.
I hate the Wylde. I'm having it re-chambered to 223Rem with a slightly longer throat for my 80gr bullets.
With eventual throat erosion, good luck reaching the lands and having any bullet left in the case neck.
Loading to .005 off, I only have .020 bullet in the case. This will induce run out and my ES has gone from 6-8fps up to 30 -40.
If I go 223 Rem with just enough throat to use the 80's, I can chase the lands as necessary.
YMMV
