Default performance center vs. Lew Horton/Mountain Gun

Has anyone done any side by side accuracy testing between a PC .45 acp and say a Lew Horton/Mountain Gun? Maybe even a Ransom rest test....

A dear friend of mine is torn between the two methods of rifling used in each of the two so I thought I would ask my esteemed colleagues on here what THEY have found...

Lew Horton is a Distributor not a Manufacturer.

I don't own either as of yet so I will be curious as to the answer as well.

I am aware of Lew Horton status as a distributor....they often have special runs made to their specs.

Personally, I don't think that there will be a perceptible difference in accuracy especially if used in a Ransom Rest...or for that matter over a good set of bags as a rest with an experienced shooter.

My friend is not a member so I thought I would see what my fellow members have experienced as this forum is very deep in knowledge and experience.
