[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 1281257, member: 306"] I decide to rebarrel one of my 30-06 and gunsmith ordered a Bartlein 30cal 5r barrel 1/11.25 twist @ 26" and it replace a Kreiger 1/10 twist @ 24 also chamber for the 30-06. This is from Bartlein site [url]https://bartleinbarrels.com/barrel-faq/[/url] you'll read this Which is better 5R style rifling or conventional rifling? In terms of accuracy and barrel life we don’t see a difference. There are a lot of varying opinions on this. Some say if you want hard core accuracy to go with conventional rifling. We feel in the real world there is no real difference. The more uniform your bore and groove sizes over the entire length of the barrel, the more uniform the twist and the straighter the blank the more forgiving the barrel is going to be.
