Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

I'm slowly reading through all the pages here with plans to build a ULUL 223. Since I can't get a Shaw barrel, what is the recommended barrel now?

Have you tried contacting Shaw to see if they can make one?

If they aren’t going to, the Faxon pencil match barrel I had was extremely accurate. Just gotta plug the gas port.
 
I forgot to bring the rifle up front for a picture, but I christened my ULUL 6x45 with its first kill last night. You can see it in the background. 300 yards, DRT. (Deer on the left)

Nice! What bullet did you use and how did it perform? (Obviously killed well, just wondering about penetration, exit size, if any, etc).

Never mind, I see you put it in the 6mm thread!

Yeah, it's in the 6mm thread

But for those curious, 16" X-caliber has the 90 gr ELD-X going 2,504 fps. So at 300 I was around 2,025 fps. Passed through quartered away from flank to behind front shoulder, just below the spine. Dropped immediately and never moved.
