Dave, have YOU tested ***'s claim? If you have please post your facts. If you have not tested this personally then you don't have facts, only what you've read or heard. I know *** has done more testing then any other 6.8 manufacture.
Eric, you need to read what I wrote again. ***'s claim was not in the post I first commented on. That post said, "Remember *** is the fastest barrel at each specific length as compared to other mfg's"
I said, " it doesn't take in to account twist rate, barrel rifling such as 3R, 4R, 5R, 6R or others and if the land to groove ratio is even, also cut rifled vs button rifled and what type of button rifling such as polygonal, etc."
I never questioned ***'s claim, still not, has nothing to do with what I was commenting on. I said there is much more to it than a blanket statement that ***'s barrels are faster than other manufacturers. I would hope you know that is the case.
