[QUOTE="thwatson2, post: 1766114, member: 56839"] Barrels come in all kinds of thickness. Most bull barrels are for heat dissipation and not accuracies. You can get fluted barrels, bull barrels and sporter barrels. Depending on twist rate, material, thickness, and the shooter, barrels make or break a great shooter. Most barrels out shoot the the shooter. If you plan to shoot a lot in short periods (bull barrel), shoot an elk at 200 yards in a days hunt (sporter). Whatever Thick barrels don’t mean more accurate or better. I own 5 browning boss rifles(awesome shooters). I can make any factory load very accurate with the boss. Or I can handload the right powder per bullet to shoot well in most barrels. Barrels vibrate, we can overcome this by adding (boss), cryogenic treat, handload to compensate vibration, etc. My thoughts are, take a gun with a barrel and figure what it likes, what velocity, what bullet weight, what powder, what bullet brand, what primer. This is why I continue to partake in this forum. Learn, shoot, and just develop. You can’t outshoot a good barrel! [/QUOTE]
