So these are both pac-nor?
I'm about to do some calling.
I had a mcgowen years ago, in 6.8 spc/20" barrel, the barrel probably shot better than I was at the time but had feed issues... plus I left the spc for the grr anyway... like I said years ago.
I have a uintah in 6Arc but don't have the 12 c-notes for a grendel, the 6Arc is mighty fine however...
Another question rattling around is whether a slight taper or straight barrel line is better... I'd do maybe the 0.750 or 0.810 in straight but like y'all say maybe a light varmint or sendero? Any opinions on harmonics for these options. The ruger pred is close to a 0.750 straight, I have some savages in a 0.810/fluted that shoot well. the howa mini is a straight-20 ~0.760 I think...
decision, decisions...
O, that 5R yeah most places don't do that exactly 'cuz it's patented I think, a 5-land/5groove is perfectly fine. The offset IMO lends me an extra 50 or so fps and less distortion on the bullet/forcing to the grooves. Not really a fan per se of the enfield or other straight-opposing styles... when I can get a 5-er that is.
