[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1031925, member: 5219"] I agree with other post no difference you could experience. There are some that like odd numbered lands and grooves. The theory is there is no opposing land so bullet is less distorted. Have shot 2, 3, 5 and 6 groove barrels and cannot tell the difference. The 2 groove is a springfield WWII rifle made in 1943. I will mention that the 3 groove when it begins to wear will cause a bullet's jacket to become damaged. I know because it happened with a 257 Weatherby and a 7 Rem mag with Bergers. Had to switch to accubonds or monos to have bullets hold together. I'd say get the barrel that suits your needs for profile, flutes etc in either 4 or 6 groove. [/QUOTE]
