Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles 22", 8 twist, .243 LBC build.

Love it when a plan comes together; even better when you get lucky right from the start. That 32.4gr load shows promise in my rifle too... Thanks for sharing it, Smack!



This is only the second group ever with this rifle, 5 shots at 100, prone with bipod and a rear bag. Those are 1" squares on the target, group size is right at .500".

I got my 243 LBC barrel from Black Hole recently (they were actually pretty fast on this one, only 4-5 weeks) and assembled it in a thermofit BCM upper. I went with a 1:8 twist, standard profile, very similar to Smack's barrel above but 24" length. My goal was 10 lb with scope, sling, and an empty mag; this one ended up at 9 lb 14 oz.
