because those by design As I understood threads about the ART barrels are PELLET barrels and as such the narrow head bearing surface and soft skirt of a pellet far easier shift shape to match bore.

N/A Best .177 LW barrel for slugs?
- Thread starter VikingAirgunner
- Start date
This exactly matches my limited experience so far.I must admit that Im a bit confused from the answers
The upside is that the LW barrels seems to perform very well in many configurations.
Mainly shooting 16 gr slugs I do believe that the unchoked version would be better. And with Daystate using the polygonal barrel this might be the one that I choose.
Regarding the choke used in the ART barrel I cant imagine that it is similar to the stock barrel from LW. I strongly believe that theirs are made with certain costum specifications, so having to choose between a choke that might be tighter that the one Engfred mentions and an unchoked barrel that will fit a heavier slug better, it will probably be polygonal without choke
Thanks for your input guys

i had a try with unchocked polygonal and choked polygonal on red wolf and 2 alpha wolfs (redwolf shoots 16gr slugs great ,alphas hate slugs) and a choked 12groove 600mm traditional riffling on my raw hm1000 . My Raw is a bit more accurate at 905 fps with 13gr ZAN . LW makes a traditional 12 groove 1:16 unchoked for the .177 i would choose that one and give it a nice polish
