[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1350755, member: 101859"] Far more important than the rifling style is the area of the bore. You can do all sorts of things with the size and shape of the lands and if the area is good it will shoot. Aside from a few exceptions I prefer conventional lands and grooves. In competition I am firmly in the 4 groove camp, enough that I will call a customer if they send me a 5r barrel to chamber in a Benchrest caliber. The 7mm and 30 cals seem to tolerate the 5r style much better. Some 5r barrels have shot well in Br but if I think of the % of the barrels that did not shoot well, the 5r barrels are far higher. For hunting applications I think its irreverent. [/QUOTE]
