    Bartlien barrel review


    Ordered a bartlien 3b couture for my creedmoor the other day. Got it in and I can tell ya, this thing is the real deal.
    I didn't have a lot of time to play with it because of having to have shoulder surgery this week, but everything I run down it, it seems to shoot.
    I chucked it up on the lathe and chambered it with a pt&g reamer, cut it off at 22 inches, I shouldered it in over a .30 recoil lug and a trued 16 action.
    Shot some 140 bergers, amax and Hornady bthp's. The only powder I used was rl17. Shot anywhere from .15 to .35 five shot groups at 100. Tried some 123gr amax's shot them 5 in .25.
    Makes it real easy to find a load, lol. Another thing that impressed me was the lack of copper when I cleaned it, like none. Never had a barrel this easy to deal with.

    What chambering JB? Off the shelf reamer or custom?
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    It's just a pt&g reamer I ordered from grizzly.
    I'll try to take some pictures of the groups later. Just had surgery so it's a few weeks before I can play with it again.

    Found this one, all I have for now. we was playing around while making a couple dope cards. My buddy has a 308 precision carbine that shoots awesome, I had my new rig and he wanted to have a lil match. His group was just to the right of his can. About the same size group. I guess I got lucky and had the wind dialed right. We was shooting 500 yds.
    I've got a vortex 4-16x44 on it right now.

    Several guys are running Bartlien barrels in local match's in the area. They are amazing barrels,, seen a few one hole groups at 300 yards!
    There really is an excuse for everything!
