[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3020347, member: 5412"] Ahh, now we have the rest of the story. Did they test fire it with a target? Reason I'm asking is that in 2008, I ordered a custom SS barrel to build a .243 WSSM, as it was the hot ticket of the day. Ordered a 1-10 twist to shoot 55 grain at over 4000fps, and per the manufacturer's required accuracy recommendations, I had to shoot three rounds, Clean using a Browning bore cleaner, Shoot three more, repeat, and after 200 rounds, the barrel would be accurate. I" at 100 yds guaranteed. At 200 rounds it still shot minute of paper plate. Hundreds of dollars later. I don't know why I didn't stop after 20 and call BS. I checked the twist by using a mark on a cleaning rod and pushing it into the bore, finding out I had a 1-8 twist. Switched to 100 grain, and it became a tack driver with clover leaf holes. [/QUOTE]
