Why is my .223 bull barrel getting so hot?

[cranebird]

Shoot 5, clean and then shoot it like you normally would. I've tried about all the break in methods and can't discern a difference.

That is a good group, especially for a fresh barrel with zero load workup. Them Apache's really shoot don't they? ;)

It is better than I was expecting since they were left overs from the old .223 barrel batch. I was getting around to try a better bullet than the economy bullet which was shooting nearly as well with that same load and a 2 gr heavier bullet But they were stringing more vertically than horizontal through the other barrel , zero workup, manual book OAL to feed through a magazine.

Looks good cranebird! Check out the TruGlo straight 36X and fine cross hair,, a lot of mag for the buck.I bet it hold up good on heavy barrel .223 ack.

you guys are way ahead of me now....Might not come tomorrow and get wiped out....If I do it will be with the BR ..Working on a new load and not much range time so far...Busy shelling peas and all that good stuff......I doubt we will have any feed as I told Deb. No one shows to pigs out....Oh well....

Seen a shiny silver weaver T-36 scope for $399 today.I might have to buckle down and get more serious about buying a scope. My heart says to stay with Sightron but my wallet says start looking for a second job ! My nephew borrowed my Midway rest a few years ago when he and his buddies were shooting a lot.He says he is going to return it but I'm still waiting. I went to order a new one but they are discontinued. I'm in the process of planning for building a interchangeable shorter bipod leg set for the bench rest .I got the bipod in the mail today from Ctrout. Chris was super quick on the transaction. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again in the future.The bipod looks great, just what I could use, especially when coyote season starts back up.
