AR-15 Rifling Question
Posted: Sat Dec 19, 2015 2:38 pm
I have ventured into the AR platform and have a question about the ratching rifling vs std?
Here is a link showing the difference http://www.shilen.com/ratchetRifle.html
Is this type of rifling inherently more accurate for heavier bullets? And how does it preform for the ligher 55gr. I'm building me a varmint gun and looking for a high grade barrel. But I will be shooting the cheaper bulk ammo too. On my property I do not have any area that requires a shot past 100 yrds , but neighbors around me 300yds is very doable. Main use will be for the coyotes and paper punching. I have another gun for the hogs, 458 SOCOM With night vision setup for it.
Also if have the barrel fluted, will it impact the accuracy of these bull barrels?
Like this https://www.rainierarms.com/rainier-arm ... barrel-sdm Don't like looks of the spiral cuts.

These erector set guns give you a lot of options.
