[QUOTE="Radman, post: 2349208, member: 112033"] I'm no gunsmith or famous marksman but it just seems to me that a bullet entering a rifled barrel would automatically be formed to center by even-numbered, equally-opposing lands & grooves whereas a bullet entering a rifled barrel with an odd number of lands & grooves, (non-opposing lands & grooves), would have to find center as it starts down the barrel. It seems this phenomena would likely cause more harmonics traveling down the barrel. Maybe this is why, as some have stated, different calibers like the 5r rifling better than others? 🤔On another note: I believe that most barrels are button-rifled & they're great shooters. Nothing wrong with that. As I get older I realize that I have never shot or owned a hammer-forged OR ballard-rifled barrel that wasn't a great shooter as well! Micro-groove rifling seems to work well too although I'm not versed on how well it does at distance. (My fault) In MY humble opinion: Although new ideals come & go, some catch on while others disappear, some are failures while others are wonderful & ground-shaking - the manufacturers USUALLY get it right. They have far more knowledge, research resources, time & money than I. I suppose 5r is here to stay. Maybe, like most of our discussions here, it will boil down to personal preference & certainly....caliber. 🥴 [/QUOTE]
