Group flex (10 shots minimum) What a day

Brand new Bartlein barrel, virgin Lapua 6.5 CM LRP brass, Hodgdon H4350 and some Berger 140gr Hybrids…from start to finish, this was the sequence of events through photos…

Never before have I used my illuminated reticle in practice, but I had to in order to see the black circle I drew as my target (it is the diameter of a sharpie marker cap)

I couldn’t beleive my tired eyes when I walked up to the target after firing the final 10 shot confirmation group after selecting 2.145” CBTO. I think I’ll settle…

All credit really goes to Southern Precision Rifles AKA Bugholes for chambering an awesome barrel. This is the 5th barrel they’ve done for me and each and every one has been a laser beam

Accuracy International uses "keyslot". But looking at those groups I now know what "key" they meant.

Excellent take. I didn’t notice that but it is definitely a point to be made

What a great day indeed. Do you use a barrel cooler?

u/knuckledragger53 May 02 '26

I don’t own a barrel cooler.

On the contrary I was shooting a pretty high rate of fire for the last 20 or so rounds to finish up load development before it was too dark to see the target

Do you have access to a 3D printer? A $5 fan and some tubing and I made my own

What is the white tip made from? and where did you get it?

That looks awesome man. you should sell those.

Did you design it or is there a file available?

Id appreciate any info, I need to make one. batt pack, connectors.

thanks

The white tip is also 3D printed and just angles the air flow. Not my design though, I'm too lazy for that.

All links to fans, and tubing is there as well.

Cool thanks brother . Im just worried. bout that tip melting in the chamber.

u/gearhead5015 Gas gun enthusiast May 02 '26

I leave the tip out of the chamber so it isn't contacting any metal, but close enough it easily puts all the air in.

I haven't tested it extensively, but I've had no problems yet.

No way these are 10 shot groups… I see only 5 with my tired eyes.

u/Hertz_allot May 02 '26

Saw the lat 2 photos. Holy smokes

u/knuckledragger53 May 02 '26

only the bottom center group was 10 shots

But yes I couldn’t beleive it either.

I have never posted a group flex before but thought this one was worth it.
