Sam Fadala's Book " Black Powder Handbook"

[roundball]

He says that a barrel will shoot very well after the first hundred or so shots and then shoot very well for a thousand shots then the accuracy will begin to get worse. He says that the barrel is wearing out.

Complete horse hockey...have personally put several thousand PRBs through each of 3 T/C barrels with no degradation of accuracy.

I worry that he has a bit of keyboard cowboy in him publishing theories and formulas to make a buck and/or appear more knowledgeable than he actually is. For his statements to be credible, he would have had to "personally shoot out" several barrels to make such a claim.

Unfortunately a number of people do what he does and we don't have to look far to find them...beginners fall prey until they learn and know better, then they ignore these types.

Sounds like you're a quick study, separating the wheat from the chaff already...
