G'day all
I finally slugged the bore in my Winchester 94 BB .375, I didn't have any pure lead so I loaded one of the cast bullets from Ranchdogs TLC379-235-RF that dropped from the mold at .380 with wheel weights. I loaded 1 grain of trailboss which only propelled the projectile an inch up the barrel. I then pushed it back with my cleaning rod and it slugged at .378.
I then loaded 4 grains of trailboss and fired into a wad of towels, after retreiving the projectile from the towels it slugged at .376, can you believe that, it seems my barrel tapers from .378 at the throat to .376 at the muzzle, i'm certainly no expert but no wonder the rifle hasn't been shooting all that well.
Has anyone else had this problem with there rifle?
I'm now at a loss to what size I should size my projectiles, probably .378, any suggestions?
Thanks, Regards Jason
