Whitworth rifle range report

[nkbj]

Apologies for missing your post. I have three .40’s One used a 26” x 1” Renegade barrel, one using a 1” high plains sporter tube and one began life as a 15/16” Hawken barrel. The last is mounted in a glass bedded Renegade stock or sometimes in a White Mountain carbine stock. The biggest pain is all the casting if grease grooved, or paper patching bullets sourced from BACO.

Cool. How fast are the twists you're shooting with the heavies?

Scouring the Web, me having no experience much unlike yourself, it appears many many Whitworth shooters advocate pure lead bullets.
Just saying.

Only those that use cylindrical bullets.

Hi,
does it shoot well now?
Had yesterday to shoot for a match at 100m prone with sling, unfortunately I couldn´t get Swiss powder and had to use Wano PPP that´s not the perfect stuff.
I´m not satisfied with the result.

What a pity you didn't alter your sights after the first 2 shots.you could have had GOLD..O.O.

The Hawken barrel is 1 in 16. The others are 1 in 18. I haven’t tried lightweight pistol bullets yet but one of these days…
