.30 barrel thoughts/questions

[Jaxjax]

Was thinking about how slugs seems to like matched groove size - .0005 or so.. then while shooting RAW BM .30 I kept looking at the skirts & how thick they really are in 44 & 50. So thick I dought they ride the groove at all for complete seal vs what a .177 or some .22 pellets could. My jsb 44's all measure around .299 & skirts at .302. LW barrels are ..298 x.306. So in my head for .30 pellets & LW barrels its about the bore/lands & twist rate. ? We can get tight .298 x .308 .30 PB barrels in cut or button. cut like Bartlein gives us any twist rate wanted I think.Basicaly I'm saying are we stuck with LW as much as we think except for slugs & even then custom slugs solves that or TJ .30. but pellet shooters seemingly should be fine with .298x.308 ? is the .002 going to make more of a differance then I think for pellets. ?

LW .30 barrels run larger than I prefer. I am sure some have great success with the LW, but it just doesn't fit my likings.

TJ's 1:26 is a proven shooter for a variety of .300 ammo, including pellets.

From what Ive seen online, the TJ's are for .30 are only available in 15mm .? I would need .625-5/8 or 16mm to make it easy on my end.

Those barrels can be had in several diameters. I have previously purchased barrels from Todd with diameters that are not listed on the cost sheet.....

You should reach out to someone like Bill Greathouse, I'm sure he knows exactly what is available and can fit the barrel as well.
