At Match Grade Machine we strive to build the best barrels on the market. To do so, we test our products to make sure we are providing a product that is just that. The following tests were conducted to provide our customers with load information in our 1:16" barrels, as well as stability testing with the 1:20" twist barrels.

In the 1:16" 16.25" barrels, we tested loads from subsonic .38 Special to a stout .357 Maximum and everything in between. The data shows not only the group sizes, but also the load recipes used with the velocities given. The 1:20 tests at 100, 200 and 300 yards proved that with a rifle length barrel, any commercially available bullet will stabilize in any weight.

The barrel used in these tests was 16.25" long with the rifle setup. Twist was 1:16. All shots were at 100 yards and shot from a portable bench. No pressure signs were encountered. Testing was accomplished from 10/1/17 to 10/17/17. Shooting days were chosen for mild, windless conditions.
