Topics discussed in this episode:

 

• Intro [00:00:00 - 00:02:52] 
• Gain twist barrels, is there merit there? [00:02:52 - 00:09:04]
• Your specifications say barrel within .0001”-.0002”, which is extremely consistent. Many people talk about 22lr barrels needing a ‘Choke’. With this consistency, are your barrels not choked and is it really required? [00:09:04 - 00:14:48]
• Is it common to have a schnozzle, schnabel on the end of a barrel? [00:14:48 - 00:18:11]
• Barrel length, short or long for accuracy, which is better? [00:18:11 - 00:21:55]
• Why different powders product different results [00:21:55 - 00:23:03]
• They say you need a straight barrel bore for accuracy, is it true? How straight is the bore? [00:23:03 - 00:25:25]
• Is there such a thing as a hummer barrel as a hummer barrel? [00:25:25 - 00:25:25]
• Is there an optimal headspace?
• What is the purpose of the shnobel on a barrel? [00:28:40 - 00:29:29]
• Any plans on a barrel in 6.5 PRC? [00:29:29 - 00:30:25]
• Is there any accuracy or other differences between the number of grooves a barrel has? [00:30:25 - 00:32:13]
• Is there any truth to barrel break-in? [00:32:13 - 00:35:34]
• How international is IBI? [00:35:34 - 00:39:23]
• Whats up with “seasoning” a barrel for rimfire? [00:39:24 - 00:43:13]
• How as a manufacturer do you make your barrels shoot well enough to be competitive at the highest level? [00:43:13 - 00:46:02]
• With modern barrels is there any point in choosing say a Varmint/bull barrel or standard barrel for long range shooting? [00:46:02 - 00:51:05]
• I’m trying to find a good reload using solid copper bullets (such as barnes ttsx, nosler e-tip, etc) in a tikka with a 1 in a 11 twist. I’m seeing lots of articles suggesting that you don’t go by weight of the bullet, but rather the length. Why is that? And is that the true way to find a good bullet for a barrel? [00:51:05 - 00:57:10]
• Why are you so GQ? [00:57:10 - 00:57:38]
• For my hunting rig, with weight saving in mind, should I go with a pencil barrel or a canon fibre wrap of the same length? [00:57:38 - 01:00:12]
• Fast twist 22lr barrels? [01:00:12 - 01:04:35]
• Cold bore vs. Clean bore [01:04:35 - 01:06:13]
