1-8 twist handled 55gr through 77gr SMK well. fluting saves a few oz off a standard contour. crown is recessed and clean, no eccentricity i could see with a bore light. mid-length gas port was right at the spec listed
bore is consistent and the fluting saves a few oz off a standard contour. 1-8 twist stabilized everything i fed it from 55 to 77 gr. crown was recessed and protected by the thread cap, no eccentricity i could see with a bore light
