    Pattern difference

    I told that a jug choke had the same dia infront of and behind the jugged area(jugged meaning slightlt expanding) is this the same definition you guys use? Can this be done after the gun is built?

    Pattern difference

    One to many times!!!!

    I think I visited this forum one to many times. I called my rifle builder who is/was building me a .50 cal Ten. mtn rifle and inquired about an English Fowler .62. He told me he actualy had the parts on hand to build one for himself! They consist of a Gets swamped oct to round, Virginia lock...

    What bore?

    Hello to all! I am planning to build a sxs smooth bore rifle. The barrels I have mic at .70. They need to be reamed and I thought that .710 might work well. My question is what bore over .700 would be best if I have to buy rb's from a supplier and who would be the best supplier?

    velocity comparison

    Im just thinking in the southern rifle Im getting that the 50 would be lighter and slimmer there for easier to carry and more pleasent to the eye. I have found weights for the swamped barrels and wish I could find weights for tapered! That woul help with stepping up to the .54. I dont want to go...

    velocity comparison

    The barrel will be a 1 in 66 twist. I should have the rifle by augest-september. I will use it mostly for deer here in Texas (90%+) and feel it is more than enough for them out to 100-120 yards. Dont think a 54 would make much difference with whitetails. Was putting the question about the 50...

    velocity comparison

    isnt a ball-et designed to shoot out of prb barrels? My reason for asking about the 50 cal ball-et is to make the 50 more effeciant on elk out to 100-125 yards. :winking: Nathan

    velocity comparison

    WV_Hillbilly, Do you have an energy rating with those .45 & .54 loads? ::

    velocity comparison

    This is really interesting :winking:! So with this in mind why dont more guys choose the 50 loaded with a ball-et over the 54? would'nt the 50 cal ball-et cary more fpe out to a greater distance? due to the better coeficiency of the projectile? I do not have any experience with this only doing a...

    velocity comparison

    Say you have a .54 prb(220gr.) and a .50 ball-et (220gr) both loaded with 90 br fff blackpowder all else being equal woul you get the same muzle velocity? or would one caliber burn powder more efficiantly to reach a higher fps? :hmm: Nathan
