[QUOTE="Buttermilk, post: 2984113, member: 5262"] I have already posted previously. However, I will always take a cut rifled barrel over a button riles barrel as long as I have the option of doing so. I have some very accurate button barrels now and have had some in the past as well. It’s been my own personal experience that cut rifled barrels have been the easiest to work up loads for compared to button rifled barrels. While a button rifled barrel can shoot very well, and it’s proven that they do, I prefer to “stack the deck” in my favor by getting a cut rifled barrel. Cut rifling produces less stress in the steel generally speaking than button rifling does. Button barrels have to have at least one more stress relieving step than do cut barrels (Krieger does an additional cryogenic stress releiving step I understand). If a fluted barrel is desired, then a cut barrel makes more sense as well due to the possibility of the button barrel opening up dimensionally. Same goes with threading the muzzle. I will conclude my posting with this: I do believe a button barrel and a cut barrel can both be equally accurate as long as both barrels are made correctly. [/QUOTE]
