A lot of great info guys. Thanks. Scoony, that looks like a great barrel. I've heard BA barrels are very good for the money. Its probably like everything in the barrel world though, sometimes you get an excellent one, sometimes a good one and sometimes a not so good. Finding a company that makes excellent barrels consistently can be done, but you pay out the nose for them. I like getting lucky like you did with that one. Good score. Those 77 SMK bullets sure do shoot nice, in my experience.
