[QUOTE="stljc2, post: 1822876, member: 96586"] Hey Guy's. So here I was looking over several threads and thinking of doing another build. This one would be 6.5 PRC with a 26" barrel. The question I have is this. Just how many grooves should I specify. 6.....5r....4? I'm a little confused on just which would be best for LR hunting/ shooting. I don't really know if there would be any advantage worth having. As long as I'm asking let me say I had one built in 300 Win Mag many years back. The rifling, they said, could be chamfered for better wear (at least that's what I thought they said. It's been over 30 years ago...lol). Stainless steel barrel. Still shooting it but only hunting. It's pretty accurate but I just wonder if the chamfering was worth it. Thoughts? Advice? Thank you in advance for your input. I appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
