ORIGINAL: trailer Would someone have any information on these two brands of barrels. Is the grade and quality of steel the same or is there a considerable amount of difference between the two? I have placed an order for a barrel and they are having problems with Shillen barrel blanks so they offered the Douglas barrel instead. Is this a good move?
I understand that Shilen barrels are excellent, but so are Douglas Premium Grade barrels.
This is a 100-yard, 5-shot group fired with a 6mm/284 with a 26" Douglas Premium Grade medium sporter weight barrel. 100-grain Sierra bullet, 53.5 grains of old original H4831. Many groups fired with this barrel were similar, using both 85-grain and 100 grain Sierra bullets, but this is the best one.
