    .58 roundball velocity

    Addendum on Green Mountain Barrels

    I just joined this forum, and found that a running discussion on Green Mountain barrels was done last summer. I would like to...at this late date...give my two cents worth: I have been all around the horn with the Green Mountain barrels”¦I think I can add something here: I have two .58 cal...
