I wound up with a '92 Win in 25-20 with a messed up barrel. Was told it had a "jugged" chamber. Measured the chamber and it seemed ok. Loaded some 60gr. lead bullets over 3 gr. Trail Boss and a Win small pistol primer in a new unfired case from Starline that had been necked down. When fired the neck, sholder, and body of the case was blown out and the bore looked pretty bad. What would cause a "jugged chamber"
I want to get a new barrel for it, but where? I've sent 3 letters and two emails to Homestead in Tucson. My letters and emails remnain un answered. I have also thought of having the barrel lined.
What would you suggest? Where to get a new barrel and/or where to get the barrel lined?
Thanks for your assistance,
Bob
