Are you shooting saboted or sabotless loads. Knurling tends to be more beneficial with sabotless applications because it tailors the bullet to bore fit. It is used in some saboted applications where it helps with the bullet grabbing the sabot with the spin of the bore. It also aids in obtaining a tighter fit if you have a loose fitting sabot to the bore of the rifle.
The solid coppers like the barnes tend to be alittle harder to obturate . Start with the sst's and go from there. Don't discount the standard XTP's

Yes shooting saboted sst ml 250gr.
I was thinking more the slippage betwen the sabot and sst makes sense and seems like it would help with that I can easily spin the bullets inside the sabot before knurling.
After knurling I can not spin them inside the sabot but there may or may not actually be any slippage coming through and out of barrel when under more pressure on sabot.
I think this is worth a try see if theres any improvent in group.
