I will post a pic later tonight of the rifle.
Roundball won't be practical in a 1:24 twist except with a light charge which means I wont be able to hunt or shoot longer ranges with the rifle.
The .457/405gr bullet is a flat based design, being that undersized(.010 thou) I'm scared of blow-by or am I wrong? I thought the bullet must match or closely match the barrel.
Reason for my post as I'm used to my sidelocks and inlines are bit new to me.
