LooKing at the BCM 16" middy BFH KMR and building a similar upper with the Rainier Mountain series equivalent.  I'm interested in a build that launches the 50gr TSX and 77gr SMK without grouping like buckshot.  Any opinions on the two choices ?

I have that exact BCM barrel and I can do sub 2" groups @ 100y with cheap XM193 and I don't consider myself a great shot. I have yet to try some 77gr OTM, but I've been impressed thus far.

I have no experience with Rainier barrels, but they are generally regarded as being good barrels. I don't think you could go wrong with either choice.

FN builds both blanks.  Or at least they build the Mountain, and all conventional wisdom points to them building the BFH but getting somebody to confirm that is next to impossible.

The TSX bullets are copper, less dense than lead, so they are longer for their weight. Thus the 50 is fine in 1/7.
