Not enough data points to determine yea or nah on the barrel. One powder with 3 different bullets will not determine if it is a dud or a shooter.

i disagree...i had a 30" criterion that would not shoot anything i fed it...cut back to 26" and same thing...over 800 rounds fired...Originally Posted by rbp75503

bullets
123g amax
107g SMK
123g SMK
142g SMK
140g hornady match
139g lapuas
with that said ive shot out 5 shilen barrels EVERYONE would shoot 142g SMKs...i shot 850 rounds through a bartlein on my short action before selling it and it would shoot 142g SMKs...the krieger i just had go south saturday would shoot 142g SMKs....
this is a bartlein i spun on saturday after our LR varmint match...i shot a 24 round OCW sunday morning....went home and loaded up 35 rounds with the 3 best charge weights and went back out and shot at 425yds...this is 6 rounds not counting the one in the orange it was there from last weekend...142g SMKs 42g H4350
this is 42.3g H4350 142g SMKs lower 3 were at .015 off the lands...the 4(all i had left of this load)are at .025 off the lands...the one that looks high is a chip of paint not an impact...
the 142s also shot great at 41g H4350 but were only 2660 i think...42g is 2735 42.3g is 2760.....i shoot 2 bullets and 2 powders in the 260 and in EVERY barrel ive shot the 142s shoot...i know its not a 308 but you see what im saying.
just an FYI LoneWolf has shot 3 barrels with the same bullet/powder and seating depth combo.
