.223 standard barrel is finally behaving!!
« on: April 05, 2009, 05:21:43 AM »
I have had a Handi in the standard .223 barrel for over a year and it has been quite finiky to reload for.  That all changed when I put on the Varmint forend.  It just all came together.  I was finally able to accuratly work up a load in which I finally got my Sierra 60gr HPs to shoot good.  I was able to get a couple of other bullets to peform too.  It seems that the barrel likes everything "H4895".  ;D

My "varmit" set is way better than that survivor set. I really like the sturdy of the forend. Had to do a bunch of fitting to mine though.
