No. Played with the plain vanilla factory version.... You just had to bring up the .22-204 while Im still sitting on a ton of 2323AI stuff.....

Did you shoot the .223 Barrel before you took it off?

1-9" is a concession, not potential....
1-8" is where things start gettin good Poobs.

I realize that 1 in 8 is where nothing goes wrong....but Ive got a 1 in 9 in a deuce and it digests everything I put in it, cause I have no intention of shooting heavier that 65 grainers.
My 1 in 8 is certainly the "go to" rifle though...I must admit.

I have one of the current production. It is grouping my standard 55 nosler ballistic tip load right at 1". The 62 ttsx not so much. I am going to have work up a new load with those they are more at 3" groups. Overall quality of the rifle is good.

Did you shoot the .223 Barrel before you took it off? Yeah, it shot great... But, a Loony is a Loony. It doesn't have to make sense... DF

Ingwe,
I have one and I have it ready to go to the range. I am hoping to take it one day this week or next. The wife and I just had a baby three weeks ago and I have struggled to find the time.

Ed...I checked them out according to the Berger spin calculator JB turned me on to...they should work fine even in Texas.. Meaning you'll see the little #1 on the next pig hunt... If it aint raining.

Sorta, maybe...  Actually tripple duce on steroids... The .204 opened to .224. Not too different from the .222 Rem Mag ballistically, but don't tell hard core .22-204 advocates those two are similar... Better brass available, very easy to convert .204 to .22-204. Fast twist, of course, is the secret. Does great with heavier bullets, like 75 gr. A-Max/SSII's at around 3K. Try that in a .222 RM... DF
