Stringing is the result of stress. Rifles that "walk" need work no matter the barrel contour and no matter how fast they are shot.


Not sure I agree but that's what makes us different
I have found that enough heat will make even the best walk
Buggy whip bbls will pull just from more air cooling the top of the bbl more than the bottom. Even my 7/300 custom by Dwight Scott will pull if pushed hard and it's a # 5 contour.
