Well that's good to know, as you can see I lean more to the heavy bullet for hunting, want to put them down quick , you have only one shot, but haven`t used it yet for hunting , just on paper. So...

Hey, Oneshot, Is here any reason the 45 was no good? , or you just liked the 50. When I can would like to have a go at the goats to test what my 45 will do with a 270gr bullet, with 70grs 3f...

Hi, well she`s shooting good, I found, so far, it likes 50grs 3f with patch .440 ball at 50m ,and the 70grs of 3f with a 270gr bullet. Have gone through one tin of 3f powder and now trying 2f to see...

Hi all, I think I`v got it right, I have re reamed the barrel out to .430" I D made up a new rifling head cutter and re cut the rifling 0.010" deep so it is .450" cal. Then honed and lapped the bore...

Hi, Guys, a lot of the time doing this was making up the bits to fit on the lathe, and once I had it all sorted making the barrel took only about 3/4 weeks. Now this is the the first barrel, it came...

Now hang on a minute mate, I did not design the cutting head, it was Bill Webb`s idea , I copied it for a bore size of .433", for a black powder barrel. Now Bill was making B/Barrels for bench rest...

Hi, No ,not patient, just retired with plenty of time to waste, I mean the barrel was meant to be .450"cal and the rifling suppose to be 1 in 36, But 1 in 33" should be good for bullets, but not so...
