Rebarreling a T3 Lite .223
I am considering a match grade barrel to replace the factory Lite barrel but I am not sure how much of a performance increase can I expect. I shoot MOA (most of the time) from a front rest and rear bag with my handloads (69 gr SMK, Varget, H335, TAC) and (gasp) PMC Bronze 55 gr FMJ…until the barrel heats up. The action is now in a B&C M40 stock. My shooting is limited to 200 yards, at paper, on a private range. I have no intention of shooting competition, but would like to be able to shoot bullets in the price range of the SMK. I am having a hard time getting a good picture of what that setup would be capable of- not that I have the skill and experience to wring the most out of it.
Any feedback will be appreciated.
