[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1344786, member: 11132"] All of the barrel makers listed here have all turned out very good barrels in terms of shooting accaccuracy. It's sad much of what has gone on here is a kin to who has the biggest $@?!@$'. Actually unusual IMO of this forums members for the most part. Here was how I saw it after researching the various barrel makng processes and talking to a number of the makers. I see the lalgest effect we and any of tthe manufacturers of all the various parts and components have can in terms of its effect on fire bullet placement consistency (meaning the bullet when fired will have as close to the same poi) is consistency in all aspects of the part they produce. To me this means recievers man. hold to very tight tolerances in n all aspects not just in one individual reciever but also when comparing one reciever to another of the same model. For us reloaders that we get every loaded round as consistently as humanly possible the same as the next. The same with chambering and crowning by a Smith. For barrel makers I made my choice in what are the tightest tolerance the different man processes can hold to. Bow much control do they have. How tight of tolerances is it possible le for that tech with the given machines for a given manf. type and it's repeatable consistency from one barrel to the next. Finally the skill and accepts le tolerances the actual people running the machines are willing to accept. My conclusion came to in terms of the manf. process and even more importantly the machines used that cnc single point cut rifling seems to offer the most consistent repeatable tightest tolerances of the various manf. processes. This also gives the most configurable process as well. There is still a big part in the guys running things and possibly le variations in the batches of steel they get and what happens during stress relieving etc. Imo I think button rifling is part tech by it also quite a bit of almost art form to it i.e. a feel from years of experience and skill. It in the end to me it seemed the machines that say bartlien uses has the most capability of the tightest most repeatable tolerances. To be very clear this does not mean any other top barrel manf can not make a absolute bunghole capaable barrel. [/QUOTE]
