And here is something worth mentioning too. I just got through cleaning my X-Caliber .243 AI barrel. I shot around 70 rounds through it just a few days ago and decided that I better clean it before I put it away. And it did not even need it! Slickity slick barrels do not foul quickly and what fouling you do get cleans up easily too. Just a few patches of Barnes CR-10 and presto! Clean as the proverbial whistle!
I have scrubbed many a bore over the years. NOT having to do that on a regular basis now is very nice indeed.
I put an x-caliber in 6.5 Creedmoor on my Savage last weekend . It's a 26" med Palma contour. The first load I ran shot .3 I went up . 3 grains and it was almost same hole. I ran it to 500 and it still holds . 5 MOA, probably closer to .3. Wind was awful too. Very happy with mine .
5speed received my money and now my dies are on the way. Should be able to at least start forming my brass in a few days. YooHoo, getting closer all the time.
