RE: Loads for Bighorn
Careful - you will getbig discussion going about how important it is to really clean a new gun before shooting... which they will be right on. Here are the instructions that come with a new Lyman rifle. The barrel's bore contains a heavy duty preservative that may resemble rusty oil. It is not rust! This preservative must be thoroughly removed before firing to obtain maximum accuracy. Directions: A. Swab the bore with some form of solvent or penetrating oil (example: WD-40 or Hoppe's #9). Let soak overnight. B. Brush out the following day using a nylon brush wrapped with 00 steel wool or a brass brush (must be under bore diameter to prevent bristles from jamming at the breech of the barrel). C. Wipe out using soft flannel (avoid t-shirt material-it doesn't work wellusing cleaning jag and has a tendency to stay down the bore). The brass coloration you see is normal after cleaning. |
RE: Loads for Bighorn
I would not say it is a floating barrel. I will give it a whirl again this weekend.
