In theory I would think that a barrel set up for just the .22 LR would be more accurate than a compromise twist, but I wonder how that would actually play out.

Phew !

Sure a lotta' GAS got blown around on this one.

Paul, you're looking for a good hammer forged .375" O.D. liner outta' Kentucky,....

I've had GREAT results with his .215' "tight bore" (groove is still standard .221-.222),.....16 pitch, with my Kiff Piloted reamer.

STANDARD VELOCITY ammo being the steady diet, i'm not sure deeper grooves play all that well with the HV stuff..

if you talk to Mike, say hi, if he's going to do another run of .215s, I'd like to put my name on another.
