I believe so. My interpretation of it is range, as the 6.08 barrels are marketed as "for long shot" sniper setups.
I'm also not sure how all of this plays in to velocity vs groupings - I mean, I have no quantitative data to back anything up, but from what I understand, the tighter a bore gets, the more messed up groupings get (this is the claim made by Systema), and 6.03mm / 6.04mm has been found to be the perfect equilibrium between grouping increase and velocity increase. The theory, is that the tighter the bore gets, the more the BB is likely to bounce off the walls of the barrel, thus, imparting undesired trajectory effects.
I've never had the time or opportunity to collect good data on this, but it would be good to find out this information - collected in a tightly controlled environment. ie, bench shot, controlled (stabilized) power source, with consistent projectiles and done indoors.
