[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 149050, member: 1522"] [ QUOTE ] Barrels are like people, no two the same. A benchrest target type barrel is usually slower because it is tighter which is slightly slow, Krieger barrels tend to be fast among the custom barrels. Douglas fast but not really custom. Shilens are fast but short lived. You just need to find a brand you like that shoots good. Several factory barrels are fast, but not accurate. [/ QUOTE ] What tighter isn't always slower! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] My 22" Rock 1:11.25 .308 barrel is a tight bore .298 barrel and produces almost 100 fps faster bullet with the same ammo than my one buddies .308 1:10 24" Hart match barrel and another buddies 1:12 24" Shilen SS match barrel on his bench-rest rifle. Now my rifle is not a bench rest gun but that’s really irrelevant. Tighter bores produce more pressure and thus usually more velocity but there’s a lot more to it. I'll agree no two barrels are a like, but I'll totally disagree with the first part of your statement. [/QUOTE]
