Chambering and twist question - to set the record straight

[Alex Wheeler]

So if I show you different types of rifling, shapes, sizes, etc you can predict how well they will shoot?

Nope. Never said that. But I do know the shapes and sizes that have produced a lot of records. Theres a trend. I am not trying to be smart about this, but I like to look at things as a trend. Not just a few rifles.

Agreed, results is all that matters in the end, everything else is only preference...

I have a borescope but I've never looked at anything but chambers until today. Today I looked at the bore of two new 338 blanks. One was a Krieger and the other was a Brux. I was surprised at how different they looked.

Just put them on the other way 'round.

Sounds like an Aggie Joke.

A couple of Aggies are framing up a building.

One reaches into his bag, looks at the nail he pulled out and throws it over his shoulder. He pulls out the next nail, looks at it and pounds it into the wall. He continues to do this until the other guy asks, “Why you throwin’ out half the nails?”

First Aggie replies; “They’re pointing in the wrong direction!”

“Dummy,” he says, “Save ’em for the other side of the house!”

At the risk of sounding uncultured, what's an "Aggie"?

Texas A&M. The Aggies! Originally was Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College. They have a whole line of jokes about them. Opened its doors in 1876. Only men until 1969.

I had a guy tell me one time, every time you shoot a bullet the barrel gets tighter.

Does the twist direction change if I travel south of the equator? Do I need to find a left hand reamer if I swap the barrel ends to double the number of rounds I get out of a barrel? Are there left hand bullet jackets? I guess I should match everything, or I don't have a select match barrel?
