In my experience, I've seen negligible changes in accuracy, that could easily be written off to shooter error.
When I switch barrels I'm pretty careful to head space as close as possible to where it was when I took it off in the first place. Not scientific grade precision here, mind you, just that the barrel ends up in the same position and the bolt closes the same distance on the no go gauge as it did when I took it off. I'm sure everybody does this , but I thought I'd mention it. </div></div>
Nefariousd,
Very good point on Savage barrel removal on switching back and forth. try to set head space as close to possible and take notes. I've been pretty lucky with sing the same loads when switching back and forth.
