[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1174552, member: 14204"] I read the same thing, but it's also associated with faster twist and with bullets that have softer jackets. IIRC, there was a thread that addresses this same issue. Most of us that uses, 3-groove and faster twist, uses heavier bullets and with thicker jackets that can withstand it. Like advancement in barrels, the bullets came a long ways too. :) [B]ADDED:[/B] Found and old thread >>> [U][U][U][URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f19/3-groove-barrels-32906/[/URL][/U] [/U][/U]Did a quick query on who makes 3-groove barrels via their website and thus far I got Lilja, Pac-Nor, Benchmark. Bartlein charges any barrel groove not listed for $100.
