My experience goes against the other poster.
I bought a 16" stainless fluted bull barrel upper from J&T. 1-8 twist. I've never shot expensive ammo with it. I've always bought Winchester 45 gr JHP. I typically shoot 1" 3 shot groups (I haven't shot it from a bench much) But, the thing that opens my groups up is usually a flyer. I blame the flyer on me. If I could pull that in, I think it'd be around 1/2" with ammo that J&T says will suck in this upper. I also haven't shot groups since I did the 15 minute trigger job. I plan to shoot some this weekend, maybe I'll scan some groups.
If this is for prairie dogs, I'd look for a longer barrel, 20"-24", assuming that you won't be walking too much. If you're going to be walking alot with it, I'd recommend a lighter barrel. Either a 16" bull (fluting optional) or HBAR or something like that.
