shot my new 22nosler xcal barrel today.set up for 6.8 bolt (hagar brass)anyway i decided to switch back to 223bolt and sight it in with 22nosler brass to use it up!all my loads 50gr nosler bt powder charges from min to over max on both brass.shot 3 rounds groups.started with 223 bolt 3 shots then changer over to 6.8 bolt 3 shots .i did this on every powder increase a real pain .the groups were all allmost half the size with the 6.8 bolt it was unreal.why does the bigger bolt suport the brass better the hagar brass harder .shot 22nozler loads till pressure sighs but hagar brass went up to and beyond max !! h4895 shot great and so did 8208xbr h4895 with 50gr nosler bt edged it out then i switched to barns coppers 50gr blue tips both h4895 and 8208xbr with hagar brass .h4895 ok but 8208xbr was way under 3/8 inch not saying the load but over max loads.the reason im using barns coppers 50gr are long as a 69 gr bullet my xcal is 1in9 twist you 1in8 guys might want to give them a try. all loads 2.265 aol wolf small mag primers .reloader 7 gave great groups but wouldnt cycle for me i spent 6hrs doing this .still got rounds of different powder to try out cfe223 and more.this xcal barrel 22inch 1in9 twist is sofar the best ar barrel i have ever shot .i allso got it cryoed
