Thank you Bobby Hoyt

[N5JIF]

Fired my refreshed barrel today. Mr Hoyt took it to .452 with 1/56 twist. I haven’t got it optimized yet but I’m putting my shots in a 1 inch circle at 50 yards with a ghost ring rear sight. Right now .440 ball and .018 denim with 65 gr 3 f, 50/50 bees wax and olive oil. Im going to try a .445 and see what happens. A absolute blast to shoot. Fantastic work and a big thank you

Does anyone have a good address for Bob? Talked to him the other day and he was very busy. Said to send him my barrel.

He rebored a .40 barrel to .45 a couple years ago and man does that rifle shoot.

I Wish we had one with Fred Miller, he mentored David Keck of Knob Mountain Muzzleloader's .
A David interview would also be cool
