I'm sold - but it is a good thing it shot that well, for your sake that is, I am now willing to defend you when Terry asks WHY another barrel?

And again you were right about the breech plug, when I took the nipple out and the clean out screw out it is a different design inside than I thought. The is not as much air space in there, which I think is good, and the channel under the nipple seems to be somewhat wedge shaped to force the flash towards the powder. Shot it 18 times no hint of a hangfire or misfire.

I was shooting 90 grains T7-3f. I'm actually thinking I might go to 100 grains with that light of bullet and the sabot is not that tight so the load is not difficult to start moving - should not build up to much pressure. The recovered sabots looked fine. The cups showed no signs of excessive heat. Most of them then still had the petals attached. They do travel down range farther than any other sabot I shoot.

That is a four shot group - I have shot the same target board so many times there is no wood left behind the bull so the card stock tends to tear versus putting nice little round holes in the card stock.

Remember that was only 40 yards, well actually 38 from the muzzle, on a portable bench with bags.
