tp555 made me another nice barrel in my wildcat 308R2 chambering. This one was a 16" carbine barrel and I assembled the rifle last night and loaded some ammo. Had some projects to do today but couldn't stand the rifle just setting there so went out and chrono'd some rounds just to give me something to think about the rest of the day. I am going to have a lot of fun with this one. The Sierra 155gr bullets clocked 2201 fps avg. out of the 16" rifle for a 5 shot string. Here is a not to good of a pic of the rifle.

Edited to add:

Got to try 110gr SP in the 16" carbine and they averaged 2688 fps with 23gr of W296.
