Re: 6mm 5R rifling??
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Blackhawk95</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Ive had a Broughton barrel with the 5C rifling. in a .243AI and i think the lack of the sharp edges on the lands gets you longer barrel life.
Im thinking the 5R is similar to the 5C, exepet with a Krieger its a cut rifled barreel. </div></div>
No difference in barrel life in the real world. Things like what powder you are using, case capacity etc....will effect this more.
Some say a wider land will give more life but again there are variables to this also. Like how is the barrel made. Button rifled, cut rifled, hammer forged etc...
But for the most part conventional rifling vs. a "R" style no difference.
