I have a JP Barrell and it is far better than my shooting,spendy yes,but it's scary accurate.My buddy who helped me wind the thing together who is a navy vet and a gun freak,let me do all my own homework and he put it together.We went to shoot it and his 5 shot groups at 200 meters with the factory fioochi extrema hunting 50 grain vmax were  1/2 inch.Mine were anywhere from 1 inch to 3 inch because I suck.I haven't shot any match ammo through it yet but I do have a couple boxes of 69 grain and 77 grain.Just got to find the time to go and shoot some more at longer range.

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.

Black Hole barrels are some of the best. After over 100 builds, including bolt guns, have never seen a bad barrel yet

Hornseeker,

Upon rereading your original post,it sounds like your looking for exactly what I set out to put together.I went to my safe and looked at the envelope I put in there with every receipt and the total build expense. 1528.83 for weapon only

How does it shoot Wildweeds? BHW barrel? Tried any of the Factory Hornady A-Max or SST's.

JP barrell and bolt and Gas system,Young machine NM bolt group.Only ammo I've shot have been PMC and Black hills 55 FMJ,the fioochi and American federal 50 grain ballistic tip.I've got 2 boxes of fiocchi match 77's and 2 boxes of federal gold match 69 grainers to try.picture my buddy sent of my best group,i'm techno phone challenged. 200 meters,70 degrees lots of heat waves and my hat's off to the boys in the desert,shooting through mirage is a bugger.Like I said the gun is far more competant than I am.The pasters are covering single holes made by the 50 grain AR223 federal ammo,the group shown is Fioochi 50 grain extrema hunting vmax.I'll grab two boxes of the ammo you've mentioned and give them a whirl too!
