Hi All,
So...all of the barrel-slugging posts and vids have the slug going from the muzzle end, out the back of the chamber.
My question is why wouldn’t you go in the opposite direction, from the chamber end toward the muzzle? Isn’t the rifling diameter more important in the last six inches or so of the barrel than the front end? I’m sure I’m missing something here, like gasses pushing past the bullet as it starts down the barrel, etc. But for accuracy it seems like the most important bullet-barrel fit would be at the end of the rifle where the bullet has it’s last contact.
I have a Brazilian mauser that I have to do this for, which is why I’m asking.
Thanks for putting up with a probably foolish question. I’m just curious as to the answer.
