Went out and shot a second group, five cartridges of 180 VLD's driven by RL 22. Now that I'm starting to get brass cycled through my new barrel, I'm really enjoying the Redding Competition Bushing Neck sizing die, the 280AI works really well with it. I also like FC's nickle-coated brass a whole lot. I had to take my truck into the shop--so I had to make do shooting off the hood of my Pontiac Vibe. The five shot group would have been stellar (for me) had I not pulled the one shot. I do think the longer forend makes for more accurate shooting.
