Just finished my new book.....and learned the secret.
CYA friends:
I just finished the new book Rembrandt gave me.....
I actually started reading it right after the mail lady brought it this afternoon....
______________________
And I learned the secret to making cut rifled barrels competitive in RFBR shooting..........maybe even more competitive than button rifled barrels, plus, conformation that Pope did lap his barrels.
CYA friends, I could never get cut rifled barrels to be competitive when using rimfire ammo, nor could anyone else for that matter, which is why we use button rifled barrels today in rimfire.
But today I learned the secret from this book Rembrandt gave me.........
Before I proceed, I guarantee that Dan Muller and Paul Tolvstad will understand exactly what I'm going to say, since years ago we had conversations about this cut rifled business......which is why Dan Muller started making button rifled barrels.
Anyway, here's the secret to making cut rifled barrels shoot rimfire ammo:
According to this author, now hang on to your hats, Pope chambered his barrels before he rifled them.
YES....................
CYA friends, maybe no one else on earth will understand why chambering before rifling would allow rimfire ammo to be competitive in a cut rifled barrel, but Dan and Paul will........
___________________________
CYA friends, years ago I made a standing offer to any cut rifled rimfire barrel maker, that for $25,000.00 compensation I'd give them the reasons cut rifled rimfire barrels are not competitive with buttoned rifled rimfire barrels......( and of course the offer was somewhat tongue n cheek, although not completely)
Chambering a cut rifled barrel before rifling it would take care of all the problems with cut rifled barrels trying to use rimfire ammo.
Actually, there's a very good possibility that cut rimfire barrels produced this way might actually be superior to button rimfire barrels.
__________________________
The two most fascinating takeaways from this book, are, conformation that Pope did lap his barrels, and, learning the secret to making cut rifled rimfire barrels fully competitive with, if not superior to, button rifled rimfire barrels.
Thank you again Rembrandt.....
I'm going to bed......time to get some sleep.
This 15 year old kid needs some rest.
