1 inch C-T-C, 5-shot groups at 100 yds. Never shot them at longer ranges but starting out at MOA, you can probably assume that aside from the effect of low BC on the trajectory, they could shoot equally as well at longer distances. For the brief time that I had access to a 1:16 barrel, the 200gr recipes I had did not shoot as well. Hence, I no longer have it. I did not need a barrel that excelled at hurling 325gr "bowling balls" for white tail hunting.

Gutpile-
In my bolt gun with a very heavy 1-in-24" barrel, these bullets can regularly produce 5-shot groups less than 1" center-to-center.

In my bolt gun with a 1-in-16" lighter barrel, they average about 1-1/2" groups, but that is mostly because of old eyes and iron sights. The bullets are uniformly constructed, so a fast twist like 1-in-16" does not degrade their accuracy potential.
