    Odd Ball Cal Question

    Thanks Fella's, that gives me somewhere to start. GoodCheer, it's locked up in the safe, but was told twist is 1/56, and looking down end of barrel it has VERY narrow lands and fairly wide grooves. Nothing like looking down one of my Lyman barrels ( GPR's ). Thanks much, Al

    Odd Ball Cal Question

    Hi Guys, recently bought a 38 cal rifle, and am looking for what size ball to use. It mike's groove-.398/.400, land- .378/380. To me, looking at the numbers, a .375 ball would be a real tight fit when you also add in the patch thickness, options? Its a Goodien, if that helps any. Thanks for any...

    Lyman GPR

    Don't know if this will help, but I bought a .54 cal barrel for mine, as I thought the .50 had gone bad. I ordered mine from Midsouth Shooters Supply, was advised by Lyman they would be cheaper. Seems like I paid around $120, barrel and Tang, 3 yrs ago. HTH, Al

    Checking in from Mo

    Hi fella's. Got an old ( early 80's ) Lyman GPR .50 been shooting for years, that I built from a kit. Paid $128.00 UPS charges and all, man they've gone up. Wanting to build a full stock this time, got a .54 barrel already, and figured hanging out with some like minded individuals might be fun...
