BACK WITH 222 part #2

Ever scoped it? If so how smooth is the bore compared to say a modern single-point cut hand lapped tube?
Didn't they use Hart way back then? (Barrel looks to be stainless right?)
If so I bet its every bit as smooth as a Krieger
 
Everyone says seat them into the rifling so I did some what NOT hard into rifling , but in the rifling . And this is what I shot today. not any better . not Happy . I'm going to put the 222 away for a while and shoot my 6 BR it hasn't been shot for a year .
Art, with all due respect..001 is not into the rifling, and actually a very bad place to be as any minor inconsistencies and you are off, or on the lands. I say this respectfully, seat into the rifling .015 and let it rip! You may be shocked at how it groups and now there is no doubt about the test. Go shoot some 1's young man and give us a report. Looking forward to hearing from you.
