This past weekend I changed the Ruger factory tapered barrel out for a Feddersen 18" bull barrel. I was excited to get to the range today to see how much better it was going to be, but left pretty disappointed.
I started out at 25 yards to get it dialed in and was really starting to get impressed with the new barrel with ragged hole groups.
After I moved out to 50 yards it started looking like I was shooting a shotgun. I had one 1/2" group and the rest I wouldn't call groups at all.
As I was putting things away I noticed that I had grabbed a box of Blazer .22lr along with the normal CCI Standard Velocity that I shoot. I have no idea what groups I shot with the Blazer, but I'm hoping that that is part of the problem. If not, I'm sending this barrel back and putting the factory barrel back on.
I think this may very well have been one of the most frustrating range trips I've had.
