    223 wylde-heavy recommendation


    I want to NATO rounds mostly so want a 223 in wylde-chamber
    Use will be profs, paper, varmints etc
    I haves dual port target action so need large shank barrel.
    I saw midway carries Shilen for 300$,
    I am thinking 1/8 twist and 26 inch long.
    What barrel should I get?
    newbie from gr, mi.

    My 223 Wylde chamber is 1.8 twist, 26" from Sin Arms. I can shoot up to the 80gr A-Max.

    why nato rounds? if anything i'd want to reload some 77smk, 75amax or 80vld's to shoot through it to take advantage of the twist, action and quality barrel

    nato cuz I have a few k rounds in my stash and I don't reload yet so longer stuff will get expensive for now.

    I have a 223 wylde Shilen 26" long 1 in 8 twist small shank varmit that I got from Midway
    It shoots great!
    If I had to do over again, I would contact Jim at Norththaland Shooters Supply, he is one of the sponsers here and a great guy to deal with
    He has shilen barrels that are select match
    I think the barrels from Midway are match grade, whether you would be able to tell the difference in accuracy I do not know
