[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1865463, member: 27307"] While the math explanation is very interesting and applicable, some of this effect can be neutralized by using a barrel block. I use these on most of my barrels over 30" when the weight limit allows for it. And since you state that weight is no problem...;) This one is from Corbin Shell's .416 Barrett ELR rifle: [IMG]https://accurateshooter.net/pix/corbin1902.jpg[/IMG] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Barrel Block_resized2.jpg"]184449[/ATTACH] [IMG]http://forum.accurateshooter.com/attachments/20914481_1904818129768358_4217190490432764951_n-jpg.1030340/[/IMG] [IMG]https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcR-_J4-3qmEgXAQ0k4zsGmi6rJjAkSxhKpIU2iSTQ2lRNWJwF7t[/IMG] These barrel blocks can be made any length which you deem appropriate, mine run from 5" to 10" just because that range works for the barrel lengths I use currently. Plain or fancy doesn't make any difference. The idea is that the effective barrel length and resulting harmonics start from the end of the block so you essentially shorten the barrel when its held in a block. Yes you have to make alterations to your stock or you design a stock with an interchangeable block right from the start. Jerry Teo's block system: [IMG]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/51/91/b1/5191b1d1d10d55ad112d32ea71a35394.jpg[/IMG] There are a few gunsmiths who have the opposite opinon but that never surprises me as they want to stand out for being different.;) Enjoy!
