Impact of Contours on Barrel Weight and Shooting Performance
Contour design plays a pivotal role in the weight and performance of the Bartlein Barrel. Heavier contours, typically seen in button-made barrels, tend to resist movement during shooting, thus maintaining accuracy. However, Bartlein Barrels? unique single point cut rifling minimizes induced stress, rendering the contour choice less crucial for maintaining precision.
Advantages of Single Point Cut Rifling Over Button Rifling
Bartlein Barrels sets itself apart with single point cut rifling, a process that significantly reduces stress compared to button rifling. This technique is particularly beneficial for lighter weight contours, preventing changes in bore sizes and ensuring consistent accuracy, especially important for threading muzzles for brakes or suppressors.
Fluting: Enhancing Barrel Performance Beyond Aesthetics
Fluting is not just an aesthetic enhancement; it's a functional improvement. Fluting reduces the barrel's weight without altering its contour and increases the surface area for better heat dissipation. However, Bartlein Barrels maintains a balance, avoiding excessive fluting that could lead to vibration issues, thereby preserving accuracy.
Understanding the Benefits of 5R Rifling
The Bartlein Barrel features 5R rifling, known for its gentler land angles and asymmetric land pattern, reducing bullet deformation and failure. While ideal for most bullets, 5R rifling may interact differently with specific bullet designs, such as short jacket 6mm bullets used in bench shooting, due to their shorter bearing surfaces.
