It has been a long time since I had mine built, but that was the ammo they set it up to shoot.
They had me get the barrel from Jack Hart, and told me to just tell him who wanted it, and he would send the right one. I believe that it is a 1x9", but I will have to drag it out and measure for you, if I can't find the receipt from Hart.
It won't shoot any factory ammo worth beans, because the knuckleheads chambered it with a VERY long throat for the 240s. I have slapped some 190s out and reseated them at the proper length and it does okay with them, but nothing like the 220s and up.
Believe it or not, with 240s, that rifle has put 10 rounds into just over 4" at 1000 yards. I have also put 10 220s into 1/4" at 100 meters. Just one barely ragged hole from a shooting machine (the rifle, I was just having a lucky day).
