I have a Gunner 5.56 barrel from you guys. I like it a lot.
My understanding with 300 Blk is, in order to stabilize the 220gr+ reliably, you want a 1:7 barrel. Especially in a much shorter barrel. I know the 300 is suppose to burn much quicker, negating a longer barrel, but what I've read, the cartridge is still gaining FPS with longer barrels.
There doesn't seem to be a downside to using the 1:7 vs potentially using 1:8.
Also, the Gov/Socom profile with less metal in front of the chamber area and heavier profile further out, I never cared for. Especially when a heavy can will be dangling from the end. Just makes sense to me to have more meat on the barrel profile.
What I like is the profile you guys did for RainierArms batch. Looks great. I could always get it chopped. Just too bad about the twist.
Concerning the RA barrel. If I could get it in that profile, with full length flukes just to reduce some weight, in 1:7 and whatever length I decide, it would be perfect. CL vs QPD, I think either one works for me.
Maybe I'm just ignorant about the twist and profile. I am somewhat open minded and can be convinced.
