If you look at below pictures of Glock and Lone Wolf barrels, you'll note long leades with gradual start of rifling which will accommodate longer OAL.

In comparison, Sig 1911 and M&P45 barrels have shorter leade (almost none) with sharper start of rifling.

LM- thanks for sharing. Those are of the best pictures I've seen to show barrel rifling.

BDS,

After comparing the pictures of your barrels and my Storm Lake, I can see that there is no ramping on the riffling. I measured the chambers in all 4 of my 9mm barrels including the Storm Lake. They are all between .759 - .760. It look like I need to have the Storm Lake chamber throat reamed to ramp the riffling slightly to accommodate the longer COL I am trying to achieve with that barrel.

As always, your thoughtful posts on this as well as other threads always provide a wealth of information for me. Thanks for sharing.
