Here's a pic of a three-shot  group which BIG MIKE made with the .220Ackley Swift, following removal of the nasty carbon from the lead &throat . . . trouble is, he wants to carry it around in our wallet - and it's in a 1" thick piece of pine!! ;) 50 Gr. Nosler BTs via Win 760, to produce an Oehler measured velocity of 4043FPS @ 15'! If this posts, it's just slightly larger than "life sized" . . . R.G.

P.S. Well, we're allowed to post again! IT will be interesting to see if this BBL continues to improve and IF the carbon returns, will the Outer's "foaming" cleaner will work again?! I was a little surprised that the very first shot from the squeaky clean factory BBL was "in the group". Also, it looks as though the moly laid down a nicer initial coating this time - perhaps the carbon fouling will be a thing of the past. At any rate, this BBL, which does not copper at all, looks like it'll work for coyots! R.G.
