Hey guys. I wanted to share my experience with a barrel from Green Mountain. To start off, I should tell you that my experience has been a good one. A while back I acquired this dying interest to have an overbore, barrel killing gun. My lovely girlfriend bought a 20 cal blank from GM because they were in stock, cheap and ready to ship. I started researching gunsmiths that would do a savage barrel for me and came across a guy by the name of Kevin Weaver. Turns out, Kevin has built quite a few .20-250's and had tons of knowledge and was very helpful. Even luckier was that he lives 30 minutes away from me. I took my rifle to Kevin's and we worked out the details and in my specific case(I know this may be a rare case)he had my rifle done in 3 weeks. The bullet I chose was from Lehigh Defense. It's the 28gr Controlled Chaos bullet. It's a fragmenting brass projectile and my thinking was that it'd make a good bullet that could handle the high velocity and still get enough penetration into a coyote before fragmenting. But that only mattered if it was accurate. I decided that for me, good accuracy would be under and inch or about 3/4". I tried benchmark powder and used 22-250 data for a 40gr bullet. When I approached the max load for the 22, I had 5 shots in slightly less than 3/4". A fellow at the range said that it seemed like the instant my shot went off, the bullet had already struck the berm 300 yards behind my target. I'm very happy with The rifle and Kevin's detailed and quick work. I'm also very happy with the quality and accuracy of a $100 barrel blank that showed up to my door in less than a week. . Now only one test left. To take it out and see if I can't take a coyote with one of these little screaming fast brass bullets. Thanks for reading
