So I am getting into precision rimfire shooting lately and have a couple questions regarding barrels. It seems according to the interwebs. Barrels shoot better if the crown is located where the barrel bore is tightest. This seems to be backed up by taper laping done by rimfire riflesmiths.
Anyone know what the theory behind this is. Trying to understand why a little extra squeezing of the bullet at the end of the bore would be better than a straight consistent diameter bore?
