Even with my findings, it still won't help prove, confirm or make anything right or wrong. Just posting the numbers from each manufacture would be nice for everyone to know what they will get if they buy a barrel from manufacture "X", "Y" or "Z".
Then if they plan to hand load heavy bullets, buy barrel "Y". Load light pills, use barrel "Z" and if you want to use factory ammo, buy barrel "X". It seems there is a big variation in bullet seating depths so once it is identified who makes what, we will see where the line forms and who is going to be back ordered and wait for there desired barrel manufactures product. And $$ will play into that also.
As a "normal" consumer I totally disagree with this. If I order a damn Grendel barrel from a commercial supplier I want a real unmolested Sammi spec grendel that will chamber what it is supposed too, see:factory ammo! If I need some half breed abortion barrel I will pick up the phone, call a barrel maker and have it made to my specific desires and wear the safety liability on my own shoulders.
