Testing Bart's new BT bullet.

Hovis, you said a mouthful when you said the barrel was a real good one, the real good ones will shoot just about any thing well. They are not idiot proof but as close as it gets in this game. Have a good day, Steve
 
Steve,
Your right, this is one of only three barrels I've had that just shot great, easy to tune and seemed to last forever. This barrel has 4000 rds down it. It started as a waldog in 1980 and I had it rechambered 1500 or so rds ago to -.100 short. Both barrels were 1980 production Shilen's.

James,

Those are some impressive groups there, .016" & .018", leave those at home during the matches this year ;), would'nt wont you to waste em on us. Hope to see ya in March.

John....

I don't know what your concern is with the Bartlein barrel. Yes, there were a couple "2's" but that barrel is very consistent and I will probably shoot it at the Super Shoot this year. One can not expect zero groups with each group. These groups were shot in the real world with the wind, mirage, and ability of a 64 year old shooter. The Bartlein is a very good barrel in that it shoots where it supposed to and it handles the wind fairly well. This same barrel led me to a 5th place finish at 100 yards at last years Super Shoot, and most of the credit should be given to the barrel. Good shooting....James
 
James,

All I can say to that is Amen!

I hope to shoot with you at a Crawfish in Louisiana next year.

Thankyou,

John

We are all pulling for a Crawfish at Lafayette. I will be there (Good Lord willing). Meanwhile, why don't you travel to Tomball for this year's Crawfish. James Mock

the .790 jacket

Bart,

Absolutley the best shooting bullets i have made are with the .790 jacket.

mine are not boattail. Maybe it's the jacket? have you tried any of your other bullets on this shorter jacket?

my point die is from Niemi. (7/11 dro). incidently.

Kirk,

Most of my experience is with .825 jackets. Up till now I would have to say they have been the best performing bullets that I have made. However with that said the little 65 gain BT on 790s is doing exceptionally well.

I think it really depends on the individual bullet die and how the shooter's rifle is set up.

Just my thoughts…nothing scientific

Gerrit,

I am taking orders for the 790. BTs now. Word spread pretty quickly through the benchrest world about the new bullet. Quite frankly I wasn’t prepared for the nearly overwhelming response it has received.

Send me an email and I’ll point you in the right direction.

Thanks for the kind words.

Bart
