<SD Handgunner>IT's official, the order went in on Friday
for my NEW Virgin Valley Custom Guns Barrel.
It is going to be a 15" Stainless-Steel in 6mm T/CU with a Standard Neck and Throat, with a 1 in 12" Rifling Twist (I chickened out on getting the 1 in 13" Rifling Twist Rate).
I am really looking forward to getting this barrel, as it will be the first one from VVCG. I have had a couple Bullberry Barrels and a SSK Industries Barrel in the past, but never one from VVCG.
Now the hard part begins, waiting for it to arrive. I know, I know, but patients has never been my long suit.

Bobby TomekCongrats on ordering your new barrel. With the 1:12 and the velocity level you will be operating at, the barrel should prove to be most accurate with 70-75 grainers. My VVCH 15" 6x45 has a 1:10 and is extremely accurate with everything up to 85 grains, although the bulk of my shooting is with the Sierra 80 grain Single Shot Pistol bullet.
Noe the hard part......waiting for that familiar brown UPS truck to arrive...
