Thinking about a .40 from Green Mountain?

I have a 28" and a 38", both TC Renegade percussion.
The 28" is nice. The 38" makes a bench gun.
I've long threatened to have the 38" rebored. Instead I'm going to continue a series of experiments with conicals. The 48" twist should stabilize a short conical according to the Greenhill formula. I've tried paper patched with a little bit of success. And, the Lee 41 mag plain based semi-wadcutter has shown some promise but not yet what I would like to see. So, I'm still tinkering and trying to make a perfectly good round ball gun jump through a different hoop. The combination of slow twist and the rifling that is relatively deep compared to the bore makes it a challenge. Some day if I get the bugs worked out of it I want to take it predator hunting.

But, what you probably wanted to hear about was how they do with round ball... they're great.

Green Mountain barrels are very good quality.

Green Mountain 40 dropin barrels, what those who can't afford the best custom guns win matches with.

I have several GM 40s and other makers' 32s and 36s. A 40 will be way over powered for the game you named. A 32, perfect. BvT

Good luck getting one. They have been scarce.
