My .44-100 Rem St.

RE: My .44-100 Rem St.
Kurt I think with a larger diameter bullet than what you like to use , would shoot just fine in that barrel.
Interesting find in a letter Bodine wrote to Sharps, he thought their rifling was to shallow and preferred a deeper groove. He also specified he wanted the bullet diameter to the point that when wrapped in medium weight paper (what we would call 9 lb.) to just slide thru the bore when inserted in the muzzle with only the weight of the a cleaning rod pushing it.
A wise man can always be found alone. A weak man can always be found in a crowd.
