Hi Guys,
I thought 6 lands was standard for .30 caliber rifle barrels. Now I see on page 48 of the December Guns magazine a picture of an Ed Brown sniper rifle in .308 Win with 8 lands in the barrel.
Are there any particular advantages to having a certain number of lands in the rifling? Better BC of the fired bullet or something? Is it a stability thing?
