[QUOTE="oregonreloader, post: 893196, member: 71958"] I'm not qualified to answer that. I do know that the accuracy shooters use rifles with floating barrels. (I think.) It has something to do with the resonance modes that are set up when the bullet is fired. Think of a barrel as a guitar string. And think of firing the cartridge as plucking the string. The string resonates with a certain frequency. If you damp the string with a rag, say, the note is distorted. So a forend touching the barrel is like the rag. I suspect a rifle is kinda'-sorta' like that. But I'll leave "the correct"explanation to our long-range accuracy guys. Guys? [/QUOTE]
