Not to mention that I've never heard of any problems with BHW barrels.

I bet it has nothing to do with him making ar barrels....lol.

I'm guessing that is the biggest reason!

 As a note to the OP here, I have a dpms upper myself and so far it has been insanely accurate with ammo that it likes and pretty good with almost anything else. An insane group by the way is 10 shots that you can easily cover with a dime at 100m, after shooting factory ammo that well I lost all interest in handloading for it.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

I agree mine has also been/ done very well providing I do my part. Once I got the load that worked it has been confidence inspiring. I just can get annoyed with little stupid items that should not be. Like I said previously this issue will not slow me down from using it and hoping to get some yotes.

Hey....Just got back from Spokane.

Yeah, I thought that too when Carl told me that, I figured he hated the competition so bad he simply junked the barrels. When I asked him if he had any that he wanted to trash out for the day I would be happy to take them off his hands. He just looked at me and smiled....

All of the DPMS barrels I have ever used were tack drivers, including the 308's. And the one and only Black Hole barrel I ever owned has been the worst shooter I have ever had, I finally just gave up on it and it sits on an uncompleted upper right now. I doubt that I will ever be purchasing another. I'll stick with Dtech or WOA for all of my custom barrels. Heck even my Model 1 Sales barrel shot better than the BHW stuff.

Well,  had a freons come by with his Ar and we swaped parts around and determined it is the chamber. We installed his bolt/ and all other combos with no success. We even put my bolt and such in his and worked great. So now I need a different barrel! I wonder if I can change caliber? Thanks for help. Anyone have a 223 reamer?

Something I just caught in all of this, you said this rifle runs fine with new ammo with the one exception being HSM ammo right? Which HSM was it? About half of their stuff is remanufactured aka reloads, it could be that your chamber is tight enough that it just won't run the reloads. Why not just run factory ammo? It's certainly cheap enough.

Maybe after a couple ten thousand rounds you will have a little extra space to use reloads? Just think of all those reloaded rounds you'd have made by then!

If I were going to switch calibers, I would look at the 6WOA from White Oak ARMAMENT or 6DTI from Dtech. If you are not familiar with these rounds they use the 6.8SPC case necked down to 6mm. All reports have been very favorable.

Another thing that can be done is fire a factory round then send the case to RCBS and have them make a die that is formed to his chamber.
Nothing like a Remington model 700xcr.

 Or have the guns headspace checked with a guage and if it is out of speck(too small most likely) have it rechamberred to correct dimensions.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Make mine a Minaska

Seeing a lot of AR talk. I have a match .223 upper that I used to shoot NRA Highpower Service rifle that I don't use anymore. PM me if you're looking.

BTW, it's a 20" Stainless bull with 1-7.7 Krieger cut rifled. It's a 1/4 minute tack driver.
