[QUOTE="parshal, post: 2527954, member: 605"] I bought a new 6.5 barrel from Bugholes and had them flute it. I chambered it without first looking down the barrel which I did after it was chambered. OMG! .050" after the throat one land was gone for .9". I mean not there like it had been sheared off. The manufacturer said send it in but I had a Hunter match in two weeks and decided to just shoot it. I shot 20 rounds with a load from a different Creed barrel and it shot 1" for those 20. I said "good enough" and took it to the match without any further load workup. At the end of day one I had my buddy shoot it. He proceeded to send seven rounds in the same hole at 100. What I learned is the target matters as long as it copper fouling doesn't impact the accuracy too soon. [/QUOTE]
