Personally I like Lilja barrels.  They are a excellent barrel and hold
several world records including IR-50/50 in the 10.5 lb. class and the
13.5 lb. class at 50 meters.

The two most frequently used barrels for us northwest high power
shooters are Lilja and Kreiger.  I have 3 Lilja barrels for my rifle. a
26 inch 1:12 twist 308, a 30 inch 1:13 twist in 308, and a spare 26 inch
1:12 in 308.

After looking it over, let me know if you
think you should mention this in your newsletter. Also, I have been to
the place that this event is going to be held, so I can give your
readers some insight. Later, Don Williams

Mike when you where at Atlanta WC did you notice how many smallbore
shooters were using bloop tubes other than the normal size ones on the
2013-2012-or 2007.

[Editor - for women, very few had tubes, but all the Americans did. For
men, about 1/4 did for 3P and about 1/3 for prone, and all the Americans
did again. I also see from my pics that some use them only for prone and
kneeling. These of course are just estimates from the pictures I have and
what I remember - I looked at what rifles and ammo they were using more.]
