Bill,
I shoot a Select Match 1/13 Shilen 4 groove on my 308 F-T/R rifle. I'm shooting higher scores with it than I was with my standard rifling 6.5x47 Select Match. It flat out shoots. As far as cleaning goes, I can't tell the difference. Did I mention that it shoots well?

got one in 222, chambered and crowned by one of the best, it shoots OK, no I would not do it again, go with a kreiger, bartlein, brux or rock. just my opinion. no charge, no value.

I have Shilen 4 groove in 6 dasher, 30 br, and 6ppc and they shoot very well. I have borescoped after cleaning every time and it just stays the same. My barrels from Shilen are no different from any other manufacture. It is all up to the guy reading the wind and pulling the trigger.
Good Shooting,
Vern
