Guess my EAB accuracy barrel is a keeper

EAB had a special last December on the 6.5 Creedmoor accuracy Barrel at $240 with free barrel wrench and free shipping so I jumped on it. Also purchased a barrel vise and headspace gauges on eBay and did my first Barrel job . Have worked hard trying to get something to shoot well up until now. For the money I think they are producing good stuff.

I backed my most accurate load at 42.2 down to 41.8 and shot twice trying to zero the scope and the next three shots look like this.

Wish I had loaded more at 41.8 because when I went to 42 and 42.2 my groups open back up. So the added muzzle brake obviously changed the tune. Going to work up another load around 41.8 plus and minus and see how she goes

With that group above, I'd stay @ 41.8 grains and mess with the seating depths to see if you can get them to shrink even more (not that you need to) but you seem to have found your "accuracy node".

You are probably right on but I have to make sure I just didn't have a lucky streak. My oal for 140 grain Berger is 2.35. It seems the burgers like to snuggle right in there close to the bore.
