6BR/8 twist, who's bbl? Hart/Lilja/Bartlein?

[65BR]

Hart does their 8t in 6 groove, would a Lilja 3 groove or Bartlein 4 or 5R be preferred? Looking for advice from those who have shot them if possible, thanks.

Pros/Cons accuracy, cleaning/fouling, and velocity....????

I have been sticking with Bartlein lately. Absolutely love "em. Great service, great people. My 6BR is a prone rifle and has shot a .182 off the bench,I'm no benchrester)and I can't complain about that. Have 3 more barrels on order as we speak. I've had great success with 4gr but have a 5R on order. I like to ask the barrel maker what they suggest, they seem to have a better handle on their product and its successes. Good luck!

I own all three barrel brands you are considering and prefer the Bartlein. Great barrels, I now own four.

Gary Schneider makes the very nice 6mm 8 twist 5P polygonal bore barrels that Tubb uses.

My next barrel is goona be a Bartlein or Broughton
Which ever one I choose, they WILL have the 5R rifling.

Hope this helps...
