[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1790724, member: 29632"] Just off the cuff here, every single barrel out there is going to act in a unique way. You can have 2 barrels made exactly the same at the exact same time from the same lot of steel and they will vary. There are so many variables just within the barrel that determine how a barrel is going to shoot, no 2 are identical. If you've read extensively on barrel whip you've likely come across the discussions talking about the barrel bulging as the bullet travels through it. Think snake eating a rat. The barrel flexes about the action, depending on weight, stiffness, etc. They all move, heavier barrels move less. Theres lots of things going on inside a barrel when fired. All that to say a known good round in one barrel doesn't mean it will be good in the next. It's likely that by turning down the end of the barrel to a thinner profile the barrel is not as stiff so its causing the barrel to flex differently than what you're accustomed to. But you should be able to find a load that pleases you. My 2cents [/QUOTE]
