[QUOTE="isaaccarlson, post: 2363111, member: 33850"] That method relies heavily on where you apply the forces along the barrel. The force needed to barely clear the stock will be quite a bit less than what is required to clear a dollar bill (.0045" to clear). Might not matter, but then it might. A thinner stock will exert less force than a thicker or stiffer one. There are no rules. What works works, and what doesn't doesn't. One thing I have noticed is people saying floated barrels shot worse....with the same ammo/load. No effort to even tune the load. It may be a mild or warm load, or maybe a different bullet or powder, but there should be a load for the barrel, you just have to find it. If it won't shoot, trim a bit off the barrel to change the frequency. Sometimes a little change can make a big difference. Just my $.02 [/QUOTE]
