My 16-er when I had it, had accurate node around 2415 fps for the 123, also the 120 fusion btw.
Now the 123 sst factory load may or may not do that; I have not shot that in a while, let alone in 16".
Also sold the 16" barrel.
As far as rifling goes, I prefer the 5R or 5 land styles, having a land opposite to the groove at the 180's imo disturbs the bullet less, easier engraving, again my 2 cents. I believe I get a bit more MV from it, but it could just be the barrel itself...
But I still like the 5R's better than the 6-style, enfield I believe it's called. Never tried a 3-groove or 4-groove. 3 seems too few, 4: doesn't bartlein do those? anyway, most of mine are 5's.
