What choke do you prefer on your RIFLE…???

This was kind of interesting, to say the least…

It’s sort of does seem plausible though…

It’s sort of does seem plausible though… I remember a friend of mine’s dad sawed his 24 inch barreled 22 LR rifle down to about 18 or 19 inches after running a patch through the barrel, and just going by feel, thinking that was the tightest spot in the barrel.

Later on, I read a book about rimfire accuracy, where the author advocated that same thing. So I guess if you can’t find the tightest spot, you can make the muzzle BE the tightest spot.

My old Italian copy 1858 Remington .44 cap n ball sixgun had a barrel that was .458" at the throat and .445" at the muzzle. (After I got finished working on it.) That improved the accuracy and the power.

.445" diameter ball
38 gr. 2Fg ..........................951 fps

.456" diameter ball
38 gr. 2Fg............................992 fps
38 gr. 3Fg..........................1036 fps
full load of Pyrodex P.........1087 fps

I hunted with it and shot long distances easily. Of course I put a nice S&W front sight with a corresponding nice square rear sight.
