Good barrel for slinging Wolf steel case?

this advice is worth what you're paying for it as I have no firsthand experience. Aim Surplus has a Faxon 16" middy with gas block for under $190 right now. Nitrided. I should think you can get 2 or 3 MOA. Perhaps Faxon owners can chime in.

My 18" Gunner barrel can do 1.5-2.5 moa. Most groups have been around 2 moa, and one group was .6 but I had a flyer (most likely) that opened it up to 1.5

Was that with Wolf? Thanks.

Seems I've read many accounts of Alexander Arms barrels performing very well with the ruskie stuff, something to do with their traditional rifling used in the barrels.

Many years ago, even before the steel case Grendel ammo was available, Bill Alexander mentioned that Russian ammo tended to work best from deep, straight walled "European" rifling. If I remember correctly, he gained experience with Russian ammo when he sold a 5.45x39 AR prior to the Grendel.

my lightweight upper has a faxon 20" Gunner profile 4150 Nitrided. with my tuned handloads and trying various bullets, i have found a varmint load that shoots 1MOA. Hornady American Gunner runs 2 MOA at best, or perhaps i should say "my best". Many of the load combinations i have tried so far run 1.5 to 2.5 MOA. my worst days at the range run 2.5 MOA. fwiw.
