Awesome Barrel that can shoot under 0.50 MOA

Awesome Barrel that can shoot under 0.50 MOA

All,

I am very pleased with my new tack driving WIN .308 SS HBAR Bull Barrel upper (on a DPMS LR 308 lower) from Moriarti.  Juliya is great to work with.  I had a little issue being just a little undergassed when I first used it.  However, it’s better to have the gas barrel hole a little small rather than too big.  Juliya was chill and paid postage back to Moriarti fixed it up (quick turn-around) and even upgraded my to a nickel cobalt bolt group.  The barrel is shooting good now and seems to get more accurate with every range trip.

I have included two photos from my last trip.  The paper target is at 100 yards shooting Federal Gold Metal Match 175 grain (on semi wobbly bench, but, using a lead sled).  One 3-shot group is about 0.5 inch center-to-center, another is about 0.75 inch center-to-center and the worst is 1.25 inch center-to-center (I take responsibility for that - too much caffeine?).  Anyways, the couple tight groups show what the barrel can do with good factory ammo.  Hand loads cold probably carve another 1/8-1/4 MOA off.

The metal target photo is at 415 yards shooting the same ammo.  The one 3-shot group is about 1.5 inch center-to-center.   That’s 0.34 MOA!  Yes, I had a huge smile driving back from that photo op!  That’s damn good shooting from semi-auto.  I am now ready to hunt squirrels at 400 yards.

Thank you Juliya!

Best regards.
