[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2346144, member: 4191"] Krieger told me ~12 yrs ago they discern no difference in precision from barrels with 4 groove, 5R rifling, of 6 groove. For what that's worth... I have read the same as DJ Fergus on one benefit of 5R rifling. Have also read that 5R rifling may foul less and can be a little easier to clean. I don't get hung up over any rifling. My most accurate barrel is a Brux 4 groove. I think other factors are more important in barrel/bore manufacture than the type of grooves in the bore. Some very accomplished precision gunsmiths have changed their tunes over their preferred rifling over time. Which leads me to believe old wives tales and the best type of rifling, go hand in hand.
