Barrel is on the way to Mr Hoyt. He said .62 is possibly as long as the screw holes permit. If not 62 we'll go 58.

Oh I don't doubt it. I have a couple duplicates but have guns in 45, 50, 54, and 58 right now. No smooth bore though. My 45 is a smokeless gun and I killed an antelope, a mule deer, and an elk with...

Shotgun/round ball gun just for fun. I don't have a smooth bore black powder and I'm not committed to a fancy fowler yet. I really only use my actual shotguns for slugs and buckshot now.

Might be just right if you got 61 on an octagon.
Thanks

Thinking about having a 1" round TC bored out smooth. Currently 54 cal can I get it it to 62 cal/20gauge?
I'm planning on calling Bob Hoyt next week and just having him go as big as possible. ...

How soft are they cast?
Just about everything will expand in wet sand.

Pretty much all of the red meat and sausage we eat is wild game. This year there are two antelope, one elk, half a bear, and three deer in the freezer and canned in the pantry. Three meals a day...
Do you use a shot wad for the .715? I'm just curious I'm not likely getting another round ball mold. I have the lee slug 1 oz and my buddy has the Lyman 525gr pellet. I live in Wyoming and really...
Excellent thank you.
The wad was the most concerning part to me
I test fit the wads I have and the 69RB in a couple of my barrels to see if what I have is doable.....I didn't like how snug it...
Does anyone have a manual with .690 roundball data?
Curious if BPIs slug manual has any before I buy it.

I have shot allot of them with cast bullets. Gotta be careful what you are shooting around since they generally don't explode like a varmint bullet

My 58 cal has an identical cut through the barrel and plug. Mine also has a indexing pin up through the barrel lug that indexes the plug. I assume it was done to meet the exposed ignition...

Has anyone played with one of these yet? I'm curious about the LRX model and shooting cast bullets. Wondering what diameter would be needed for loading it.

Over all length requirements.
In Wyoming to be legal the over all length requirement is 1.5" and a minimum of 35 caliber so 38 special is legal for hunting and a 10mm isn't...... ridiculous
Forum: Hunting with CB's
In Wyoming 38 special meets the minimum requirements....10mm doesn't though....rules are dumb
I don't know what state that dude is in.

6.8 SPC Rimmed maybe/maybe not if the chamber was cut slightly deeper. I had a 6.8 contender cut for a counterbore to use 30-30 brass.
