Nobody has ever proven one crown is more accurate that another. A flat across crown does just fine, but offers no "protection" to the crown. Now, unless you drop your gun, or put the muzzle down on the floorboard of your truck, the crown is unlikely to get damaged anyway. Nothing wrong at all with a recessed crown, or an 11 degree crown. The 11 degree crown does offer protection.

There is more than one way to crown a barrel. Done on the lathe is definitely the best way to do it, but there are other methods aside from a steady rest and turning the OD of the barrel down.
