Charles,
One of the reasons that I use Mozilla Firefox for a browser is the built in spell check, although I have caught myself writing a post, and feeling good about the lack of red squiggles under misspelled words only to look up and see that I was working in Internet Explorer, at which point I generally have cut and pasted the finished post into MS Word for a quick spell check and fix.

The real killer for me is missing punctuation. It's nice to know what is (suppose to be) a sentence, or if you write run-on sentences like me, a clause.
I also find I have to change my notion of paragraphing for the internet. Something alinwa seems to know or do instinctively.
BTW, did we finish off the three-groove barrel question? To the OP: They'll do just fine. Maybe you'll have to load to the middle or upper window. Most everyone does anyway.

And for me it's the misused or misapplied quote or sense that jumps out......
f'rinstance, " It's nice to know what is (suppose to be) a sentence" from above,
sounds OK orally, spoken redneck.... but what it MEANS is, "what is supposed to be."
Just that liddle 'd' changes the sense entirely
I'll stop now.
I hope that all here understand that at least to me, this exchange is between myself and Charles......
I AM NOT the grammar police
al
And BTW Charles, runon sentences are a dear part of English Literature. NOT 'bad,' not even to be avoided, they just require a meticulous attention to detail.
(My wife, a paid editor, hates them
)Since this is just between me & Al:
"Just that liddle 'd' changes the sense entirely"
It does indeed. It was supposed to. I like puns.
BTW, as a typesetter, I use to hate editors. Always changing their minds. They want to change all occurrences of "that" to "which" in the manuscript, then change them all back in first proof. One of the marks of a good typesetter is they have a passion to finish. Anyone who frustrates that is derided.
Then, kicking and screaming, I had to write something for publication. The editor was able, with a lot of hard work, to turn it into something perhaps worth a reader's time.
I just finished writing something else, a chapter for a book. This time, even though the press will have an editor go over it, I paid an editor to go through my manuscript before it goes off to the publisher. (It was a solicited piece; I didn't have to worry about it being accepted.)
That's how much I've changed my mind about editors. So Merry Christmas to your wife, and to you for having sense enough to appreciate her.

I will admit that I have never used a 3 groove in short range BR, but have used many in long range application's.
In my opinion they are a disaster with a 1-8" twist (bullet blow-up issues). They might work fine with the slower 1-13.5",1-14"
BR twist's but I wont be the one to try one out.
Send it back and get the 6 groove.

I always get curious when I hear shooters talking about these 3 groove barrels. They will tell you how good they are and how their next one will be a 3 groove barrel. Talk to them the following year and they are back using a 4 groove, and you don't dare remind them of what they said last year. I tryed a 3 groove and while it was good I would not buy another. Just an opinion.

the best barrel I ever had was a 3 groove Lilja, I've had others that were so-so. Great barrels are were you find them, no magic formula to go by, chamber it and shoot it.

It's ancient history now, but I was fortunate enough to win the Benchrest World Championship in New Zealand in 2001 using a 3 groove Maddco barrel. Neville Madden in Australia made a number of these in 14 and 15 inch twist and they were killer barrels. Yes, they seemed to work better with a bit more powder in them, but once tuned they shot extremely well.
