I have run factory 147 in a range ammo, 168 Hornady black with ELD match, 168 ELD match and 178 ELD-X handloads with 3 different powder weights each. Hand loads were all running a standard deviation of 15 fps or less. Also, run the borescope and there is no obvious barrel defect. Forgot to mention in first post that I am running heavy buffer

I have been working on a LR-308 build. Barrel as noted above with an AR Stoner compensator. The rest of the major components are AeroPrecision M5, Vortex viper scope and LaRue mount. Also using adjustable gas block. From day 1 have had accuracy issues. Torques verified, barrel bedded in, tried 147, 168 and 178 ammo. Finally shot today without the compensator and groups went from 5 MOA to 1.5 MOA. Looking to see if anyone has experience with this particular barrel and can recommend a compensator that is better suited. Considering a VG6 Epsilon. any experiences would be appreciated Thanks in advance
