    Investarms chrome barrel

    http://www.investarm.com/eng-avancarica.html Just found this web site that sorta clears up the chromed or unchrome Investarms rifles. Looks like Investarms doesn't call any of them Hawkins. I also know that Cabelas had them make some for them as well as some other brands

    ball patch options for 32 cal

    I recently got a Traditions 32 cal Crockett and trying diff combos to shoot....would a 310 ball with 20 patch be the equivalent of a 320 with a 10 patch? Would the minor weight diff be of any value? I generally shoot spit patch as I'm shooting at paper and so far no patch has burned or shredded...
