[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1345771, member: 70559"] Let me give you a little encouragement. The first barrel was Pac-Nor using my .25 caliber wildcat. You can never redo the first group. I grabbed some stuff and loaded it just to get on paper. The first three shots was a quarter inch: .256" anyway. While testing primers I found the one I was going to use because the three made a group of 3/16" at a velocity of 3,918 feet per second. That was with GSCustom 85HV. So I fire two more three shot groups at the same target. They made a nine shot group of 3/4". The barrel was 26" long with a muzzle of .550". This means the above post was almost correct. Then I decided I wanted a better ballistic coefficient bullet and ordered another barrel. This one is the one I erroneously mentioned above. It is 24" long and heavily fluted with a .620" muzzle. The 'smith said I will get it in December. [/QUOTE]
