An even smaller bullet shooter ?
Gents,
I mostly lurk, reading when time permits. I fool around with White ml's. I like the smaller caliber fast twist guns & just love Swiss black...
I sent a pm to waksupi looking for some input about where to post a thread on this............so here goes !
To the idea & questions;
Looking for opinions, input, your knowledge, experience and what else you would be willing to share on a smaller caliber, bullet shooting muzzleloader. Seems like there are lots of Lyman/Ideal moulds that might work without having a custom mould cut………………..
I have read and re-read Ned Roberts, "The Muzzleloading Caplock Rifle" ...........has been a real eye opener in some areas as far as the ml goes, but lacks any real substance when it comes to twist information.
Looking at doing a smaller caliber muzzleloader. Something in the 30-32 caliber area.
Barrels that are available & might work ???
.32-20, bore is .305, groove is .312, twist is 16
.32-40, bore is .315, groove is .323, twist is 16
.32spec, bore is .315, groove is .321, twist is 14
I thought that the faster twist barrels would foul too quick.?
Most likely would need a false muzzle type of bullet starter like ones in Ned Roberts, based on what I have read.
Maybe I am all wet !?
Fire away ! :Fire:
