2f prime in the pan

[IanH]

I taped a bunch of long, 1/4" socket extensions together and turned it with a tap wrench. The adjustable hand reamer is an Uxcell brand from Jeff's Dollarama, size 13.75mm to 15.25mm. If I had it to do over, I would remove the barrel, unbreech it, and ream the tight spots from the back end rather than feed it all the way through from the muzzle.

Thanks Ian it’s obviously no secret that you and Rob are machinists and I’m definitely not and that is something I would not attempt .

I bought a can of 1f To see how it would pattern in my 20 ga. It tightened up my patterns and still had enough power to puncture a tuna can at 25 yds. I also primed with it, and I could not notice any difference in ignition speed. But then again I am old and most of my body functions have slowed down!

I was loading 70 grains, same as my 3f. Nice improvement in the pattern.
