'Quick Question'
'What Does This Mean?'
'MW; Means What?'
'How Many Grams Is FBR In The First place?'
Really, if there weren't so many people who joined for the hell of it, this would work great.

You could just look at a writeup and adjust your barrel accordingly to fit your own darts. You know what works best for you so use that.

In my experience, FBR is affected by outside climate, storage climate, and even altitude to a small degree. I bought some of Forsaken's FBR and built my darts exactly as he did, yet most of them are a little bit looser than the few of his I found lying around at a war. The temperature of his dryer may be slightly higher or lower than mine, his climate is obviously colder than mine (Canada to NJ), and ther are probably other factors that could cause this difference.
In the end, maybe instead of copying a mod word for word including the barrel, you should use the mods as more of a set of guidelines. Nearly all of my mods are similar to others, but they deviate at certain points to encompass my playstyle. MerfMonkey hit it right on the head.
EDIT: OMC beat me to it. Too early in the morning to type fast..

I think that varying FBR would not be a problem. The whole point is to measure the tightness of a piece of FBR in a barrel; two similar results even with different barrels and FBR should have very nearly the same friction.It has nothing to do with new people. The main problem with that is that EVERYONE'S FBR will be different. That's why people get varying ranges in the first place. It has been said before, but you really have to mod for your foam. Mods in general are just guidelines, and you should be able to change them yourself to suit what you need.

Plus, I've come to the conclusion that about half of the claims of range are pure, unadulterated bullshit. So I dismiss claimed ranges altogether, and focus on what the person has done, as everyone said, as a set of guidelines of what they did. Then I use what materials work best for me and move on the modification.
If it gets even 10 feet over the unmodified range, I consider it successful. Of course, to use it in a war to one's advantage, 30-50 feet is much more preferred.
Most of the mod problems on NerfHaven (and everywhere else) come from really green Nerfers who try to do a mod, word for word, and when they don't get the same ranges (or have a non-working blaster), they have a shit fit and start posting all kinds of distress posts. That's why it's important for members to look over a modification and carefully consider if the person posting the mod is full of it, or not.
Caveat emptor (buyer beware). You are responsible for what you do to your Nerf blasters, not us.

We could measure tightness by amount of .177 copper BBs, or .2g Airsoft pellets. It would be a pain and almost no one would comply, but it would work.
I could fill one of my barrels with copper BBs and it wouldn't shift one of my darts.

I don't pay attention to reported ranges for the reasons already stated.

From tightest to loosest with my foam.
Cpvc >>>>>>>>Need to twist darts in.
17/32"brass>>> Need to twist darts in but not as hard.
OMC's petg.>>> May need minimal twisting.
9/16" brass >>> No twisting required.
Shorty's Mamas snapper>>> You could throw a dart blindfolded backwards into it without hitting the sides.
It all comes down to what works best for you.
Keep in mind that not all mods work with all barrel materials.
My long shot can not be made with petg, without custom ordering 4 unique sizes of petg.
You wouldn't do a barrel replacement on a RF20 with Brass.
and so on...
I don't feel the way I used to do.
I know its bad,
After what we had,
But I’m just not the angel you knew.
