<r>Almost forgot to post pic of target. IF there's no pic, it didn't happen. ;)<br /><br />This shot closest to center of bull was from previous 3 rounds while I adjusted windage on the Peep. <IMG src="https://kragcollectorsassociation.org/kca/phpBB3/images/yabbfiles/Attachments/IMG_0046.jpg"><s>[im...

@Madsenshooter,<br /><br />The 00 buckshot ball got shaved a bit being forced into the muzzle, with a ring of lead hanging off the rear as it was tapped down 3 inches or so. Wise to the issue of rotation now, I made sure it was driven out carefully, which by the way, was quite easy to do. Easy push ...

<r>@Whig,<br /><br />Although I have no reason to suspect an aftermarket barrel was fitted at one time, because it's been sporterized there remains the possibility that it has. What I can tell you is that the blued barrel is 22 inches long, and a Pacific front sight soldered on. Bluing was removed f...

I repeated the slugging process and confirmed that the bore is .300 and grooves are .306 to .3065<br /><br />If it is supposed to be .308 I guess this would explain my first observation that a jag and patch combination that worked well in my 308, but does not fit into the krag, is due to the bore be...

You may be right. I used the method described above using a 00 buckshot. I lubed the shot with Hobo Oil and wiped the excess off before driving into the muzzle. I was surprised as to how easy it was to push out after it was about 4 inches down the barrel. <br /><br />I performed this twice. The firs...

Slugging it was a walk in the park. OO buck measured .300 across the lands, and .306 in the grooves. However across one set of grooves, it measured .301.

Any comments welcome.

Ok now, that was just too easy! OO buck, an Oak dowel, and a stiff cleaning rod perhaps?

What are the dimensions I'm looking for? Groove and bore?

The barrel looks beautiful inside, so this should be a piece of cake.

Any links for "how to slug a barrel" would be appreciated. Bore looks mighty fine using my new Teslong bore scope.

<blockquote>Texas10 - FWIW, I gave you advice on damaged/faulty Winchester Brass on Ammo Porn thread.</blockquote><br /><br />Thanks, found that after your post. Tried to straighten them but just too wrinkled. Ended up losing 4 and haven't opened up the second bag yet.<br /><br />I did find some IMR...

Got around to prepping the first bag of Winchester Brass I picked up a week or so ago, and lost 5 of 50 to neck defects. Splits, folded over brass at the mouth, I assume was due to the neck trim dies being worn. <br /><br />I'm loading for a sporterized Krag, 22 inch barrel. Would a faster powder th...
