Steve,
I am not a gunsmith,just a shooter,having gone through one barrel chambered on the neater side,after two others on the more generous side and owning a Ruger factory with a1-8 twist barrel,my preference is for more clearance,over minimum specs. It does help to use a gunsmith that is a shooter in the discipline you are following.
Mike.
