Just got the rifle back from my gunsmith with the new Shilen match grade barrel installed. Turns out it likes the same load as the previous barrel (41.8gr H4350 under a 140gr BTHP).
Shots 3-5 @100yds
Shots 6-8 @ 100yds
Shots 11-13 @ 300yds
It's a shame about the factory barrel, but at least there are other options available. Thanks to Shilen for directing me to Jim at NSS, and Jim for getting the new barrel shipped out so quickly.
