Exceptional Performance of the 25 GT Barrel: A Detailed Analysis

At Kansas Arms Supply, we pride ourselves on pushing the boundaries of precision and performance in our custom rifle builds. Recently, we undertook a rigorous testing process to evaluate the capabilities of a 25 GT barrel machined on our lathe. The results have been nothing short of outstanding.

The Setup

To ensure optimal performance, we paired the 25 GT barrel with the following components:

• Action: Impact 737R
• Barrel: Bartlein
• Stock: Foundation Stocks
• Trigger: TriggerTech Diamond

This combination provided a stable and precise platform to thoroughly test the capabilities of the 25 GT barrel.

The Testing Process

Our testing began with a meticulous break-in process involving 150 rounds. During this phase, the barrel demonstrated exceptional accuracy, setting the stage for subsequent load development. For load development, we utilized the following components:

• Brass: Alpha Munitions
• Powder: Hodgdon Varget
• Bullet: Berger 135
• Primer: CCI 450

The Results

The real highlight came during the load development phase. Over the course of 40 rounds, we achieved the tightest 600-yard vertical dispersion we've ever recorded, measuring just .746 inches. This level of precision is a testament to the quality of the barrel and the synergy between the selected components.

Real-World Application

To further validate the barrel's performance, we took this rifle setup to the Midwest PRS Regional finale in Iowa. In a competitive environment, the rifle's accuracy was on full display as we set a personal best with 6 stage cleans. This achievement underscores the reliability and precision of the 25 GT barrel under real-world conditions.

Looking Forward

The exceptional performance of the 25 GT barrel has not only impressed us but has also prompted serious consideration for integrating this setup into our product offerings at Kansas Arms Supply. We believe that our customers will greatly benefit from the enhanced accuracy and reliability that this barrel configuration provides.

Conclusion

The 25 GT barrel, paired with high-quality components such as the Impact 737R action, Bartlein barrel, Foundation stock, and TriggerTech Diamond trigger, has proven to be a game-changer. With Alpha Munitions brass, Hodgdon Varget powder, Berger 135 bullets, and CCI 450 primers, we have achieved a level of precision that sets a new standard.
