Mine was is a slightly modified heavy varmint contour. So the presumption was indeed wrong. At least concerning my contour.
I did know that the rebar barrel was for cast bullets. It's all in the article that googling brings up. This is indeed comparing 'apples to oranges' like you put it. However, it still takes a finely made barrel to shoot cast bullets accurately. In fact, these competition shooters search high and wide for the best barrels. And RKS is one of the best kept secrets for these 'super barrels'
A well made barrel is a well made barrel. I did struggle with the fact that Ron doesn't lap his bores, he said it doesn't need it. I can't argue much with a guy who has made thousands of match grade barrels. We'll see how mine shoots this summer and I'll be sure to write about it.
