Rifle is new out of box and stock with no mods other than the barrel swap . Rifle was tethered and regulated and bullets were all sized to .2495 and 10 bhn . Shot the rifle with the stock 24 inch barrel first . With this barrel the PW needed to be turned up all the way to 13 to perform at its best . With the 48 grain bullets 2400 psi was its best setting at 2500 psi it dropped off . With the 62 grain bullets 2500 psi was its tops . I next removed the barrel and installed the 32 inch barrel with all settings being left as they were with the 24 inch barrel to get a accurate difference that the barrel would make . Next I took the 62 grain bullets up 100 psi at a time to 2900 psi with a gain that the 24 inch barrel could not do . Then I dropped the PW setting down 1 turn at a time too 3 and really lost no energy . Were the 24 inch barrel needed all the spring tension it could get . Might be more in the rifle with a little more playing with the TH but I think I will leave it a lone and enjoy it as is for a while . Marvin

Pounding metal now . But it is as accurate as the shooter that squeezes , pulls, or jerks the trigger . Marvin

149049 This is what I'm shooting in My .257 condor with 27" bbl. Getting 1029 out of the 81 Gr. spitzers and 998 out of the 80 Grain HP bullets. All cast from NOE molds. Accuracy is superb. Well under an inch at 100 yards. Here are two shots from a fresh, (cold barrel at 65 yards in 18-20 mph winds. First shot, Spitzer, (I decked a 100 Gr. Spitzer mold from NOE to 81 grains for this bullet. The other, is a HP (done upo by Eric at HP mold services) on a NOE Ranch Dog 80 Gr FP bullet. both .257 sized to .2573".
