[QUOTE="crowsnest2002, post: 646120, member: 20192"] I was cruising around on Pacnor's website looking at what they had available. What are the major differences in grooves per barrel. I know most barrels are 6 groove, but what would be the major benefits of using a 3 groove system. The only thing I can determine is it would reduce the rifling print on the bullet which would decrease the drag it creates while spinning through the air. What are the restrictions of a 3 groove 1-8 twist if any? Just hoping to pick your brains. Thanks in advance.
