This 201 fire was my first BB . I have two barrels for it . The original .357 and a TJ. 25 caliber barrel . There are really several 25 caliber barrels . But they are all 25 caliber . This one is a .250 not the .257 groove . The plus is you can still shoot pellets if you want and the BC is a little better than the .257 . The rifle is still tuned to shoot the .357 bullets . So I can call it a BB with the .357 barrel and a SB with the 25 caliber barrel . Even if it had a .257 barrel it would be a SB 25 caliber . So with this barrel I will list it here and not in the BB gate . I have BB and SB rifles and I enjoy them all . The barrel can be changed in about 20 minutes and then I can shoot it and list my test in the BB gate . I enjoy sharing my test results in either gate . I do it not to get a ego fix but to help others see what might be done with there rifles .By the way I removed the .357 barrel and sent it to Will who used it for measurements to do the lathe work on the 25 cal barrel . Then I installed the barrel . Do not want to take due credit away from him . In the past I have shot 12 bhn bullets . Today I tried some 10 and 22 bhn bullets . The 10 bhn bullets were cast yesterday with 22 bhn lead . But tested at 10 bhn today 24 hours latter . The 22 bhn bullets had been cast close to a month ago . 22 proved to be a little to hard by looking at the readings . So I will try some 15 bhn bullets some time . You might ask why I do this . Because I enjoy the hobby and there might be some one else that has free or cheap alloy lead that they can use .But have been a afraid to try . This in a non choked barrel so the alloyed lead is not need . The rifle was shot on low power 2100 psi tethered and regulated .Marvin

I appreciate the raw data you have provided over a large range guns, calibers, and cast bullets. I have casted infrequently for various purposes. It is a hobby unto itself sometimes.
