Turning Remington Sportsman 78 into a .35 Whelen

I have the 5 groove

If you don’t mind my asking, how much did that cost to do the 5 groove rifling?
Just curious!

$300, $50.00 extra for 5 groove. I doubt there is any accuracy difference, most people go with the 3 groove

Thank you very much for letting me know! I greatly appreciate it!

That's quite a deal!

How come you chose a 1 in 10 twist.
I went the 1 in 12 which is more than enough to stabilise even the heavy 310 grain.

Without a dought a 12 twist will stabilise any currently made 35 caliber bullet on the market.

Some later production SMLE No4s came out with 2 groove barrels that also proved extremely accurate as well

I had one and these barrels were great cast bullet shooters.
