old barrel was 1 1/2 inch at best 3 shot groups sometimes 2 inch, the new Brux barrel is being machined & installed this week under 1 inch consistent with my handloads probably will do even better than i expect probably . my 300 Win. mag. Remington Tactical shoots consistent 3/4 inch 3 shot groups at 100 yds all the time with my handloads with many different kinds and brands of bullets ,sometimes even 1/2 inch ,but this rifle now that i am 70 with bad shoulders is kinda miserable to shoot without the muzzle brake too.
