Muzzle crown and chamfer
« on: September 10, 2024, 04:28:18 PM »
Has anyone recrowned or rechamfered their muzzle?
Did it help accuracy?

I know a couple of guys who re-crowned their rifles, and it did seem to help with accuracy.  :bl th up

Not a recrown, but I have coned several barrels.  It didn't seem to affect accuracy, but made loading a tad easier.
