Excellent barrel
I’m getting rounds in the same hole at 50 yards using Hornady 75 grain match ammo. Barrel stays accurate even after mag dumps. I am also using a helix 556 can. I will order another for my next build. Very impressed with the quality and accuracy. I would expect the same results at 100 yards with an experienced shooter. I also have a single stage trigger so if you’re using a better trigger I would expect better accuracy. This is my 1st barrel and did my homework. Faxon is top notch.
