There doesn't seem to be a perfect forum for this post, but being a long range guy myself, this topic is interesting to me.

Scientifically, cutting method should make an impact on the durability of the steel. AR500 goes above 400*F and it begins to soften. If this would actually make a tangible difference is much debated...so I put together a little video comparing the three side by side. It isn't perfect, and there's much more that could be tested...but it still shows some good results!

Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!

Recent college grad, started a company called MK Machining where I'm developing a bullpup rifle chassis system.
