    Slug guns

    Call Ed Rayl.(304-364-8269). The barrel is the easy part. You will have to make a mold, then a swedge for the bullets. There is a lot of work to make a slug gun shoot. If you don't a score of 100 with 10x, you won't win. Olie

    Experiences with sub-32 calibers ???

    There was a guy at Friendship that sold 1/4 ramrods That is where I got mine. I don't know his name but he was in the sheep shed. I soak my ramrods in coal oil. I think that they are more flexible.

    smallest practical caliber

    I shoot a 25 caliber rifle that I made. I don't have amy more trouble with fowling that I do with a larger caliber rifle.

    Left hand twist or Right hand twist?

    I think that I read where the twist of the rifle,when fired, would throw the stock into the check of the shooter with right hand twist and lefthand twist would throw the stock away from the check of the shooter.

    Smallest caliber?

    I got a 25 caliber rifled barrel from Ed Rayl and made myself a half stock rifle. It is fun to shoot and cheap to shoot. I bought a box of Horandy .250 buckshot. With a lb. of 3f and a box of balls I can shoot all year long.
