What exactly do you guys mean by slip fit on the White rifle. Is the bore over sized? Or is the bullet undersized? It sounds to me like it has something to do with ease of loading a conical. It sounds interesting to me. Why couldn't you under size a regular poured bullet? Tom.
Tom,
I really don't think bore oversized, bullet undersized is the way to look at it. The barrel is what it is. I think what makes the White rifles great conical shooters is that each barrel is so consistent from muzzle to breach. A properly sized conical slips down the barrel and you feel no difference on the way down. I think it also has something to do with the type of rifling used.
The Whites are great sabot shooters as well. Several here can confirm that.
Quality/consistent bullets are also a must when using slip fit.
Hopefully Underclocked can share some info. I think he has been dealing with slip fit for a lot longer than the rest of us put together.
