[QUOTE="RJ338, post: 184960, member: 10046"] I have had very good luck with Rock 5R barrels. The folks at RockCreek Barrels are first class and their 338 barrels are great. You will find the 5R rifling form ( \_/ ) does not foul as much with high velocity rounds, additionally the cut-rifling process and stress relieving allow you to contour or flute them, something that shouldn't be done to button rifled barrels. Next, make sure you smith used a floating pilot reamer from Dave Kiff at Pacific Tool and Guage, they will not give you excessive freebore! Good Luck Randy P.S. try a fluted #5 Rock [/QUOTE]
