It’s time to say goodbye to our 18″ White Oak Armament SPR barrel and welcome a new 20″ WOA Predator.

Dude, just buy caliber marked dust covers. ALL my 5.56 and 300 Blackout uppers have dust cover caliber identification.
Cool stuff! Great information. Thanks for sharing this.
Would be interesting if you had a laser mounted so we could see point of aim vs point of impact.
Isn’t 6 screws per ring a bit overkill for a .223? Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Good timing. I’m using a LaRue 18” barrel right now and feel I’m at the barrels limit as far as accuracy. I can get MOA sometimes but I’m inconsistent. For example, I’ll shoot a 5 shot group, 4 will be dime size but one will be 1.5” out. I’m at my wits end. I’m looking at the White Oak SPR, or ?? I want to shoot MOA all day and anything better would be a bonus. I reload and have watched all your 223 videos.
I'd love to see some Speer Gold Dot in 308win videos.. It's been a while since the last 308 video 🙂
Ever think about trying some 77gr Berger otm tactical bullets?

I sense an inventory reduction sale coming on the 18" SPR barrels and an manufacturing overtime shift hired on for the 20" predator barrels……. Great job as always
Why did he not use accurate 2520 for the 77 gr match king?
Dude,a thing of beauty Johnny, I want to upgrade to a 20 inch…dig the show……KEEP ON ROCKIN IT! Johnny's Reloading Bench…………………….
nice to see JRB vid, also love this format of shooting and discussing one load at a time
Thanks Johnny. Maybe someday you can use a 16" barrel which i would say 80% of shooters have. Keep up the great videos.
your previous video on WOA SPR 18" have better grouping result, right out of the box or it's because it's reload ammo?
Just wondering what's your opinion between your 18" SPR vs 20" Predator accuracy/grouping out of the box difference? I know you have not replied to one of my previous question. Lastly, has your 18" SPR grouping changed after 5000 rounds, by how much?
I have a 20" whiteoak built upper and I run the 77gr bullets with 23.6gr ramshot tac, lc brass, cci primers
75gr Hornady match is an awesome value and is sleeper that people should stock up on!
I don't know enough about in barrel gas dynamics, but would the mid vs. rifle gas system explain some of the extra speed seen? If you're bleeding the gas off a few inches sooner on the 18", could that drop in pressure make that much difference? One way to find out would be to get two barrels, same length, different gas lengths. Thanks for the video and information as always!
Think I’ve heard you reference QL before. I’ve just picked up a copy and think there may be something to the OBT theory. I’m sure the node locations are different between the 18” & 20”. In fact I’m gonna crunch some of your result and see in any of your loads lined up with the 18” vs the 20”
Can someone answer this question? Which would travel farther, a 55 grain bullet or a 75 grain bullet both loaded with the same charge.
It's a part, not a registered item
I could care less if companies gift items to Youtubers, if the quality holds up, then great! If not, we know you’ll call it what it is. Keep ‘em comin man! Still hoping for a cleaning mat! 🤟
Im considering going down to the 20" my 24" Anderson varmint barrel is waaaaay too damn heavy.
If you want more than 2.260” COAL check out the C-Products 10 round magazine sold at Primary Arms. I load mine out to 2.295” and it feeds reliably
