Ever consider barrel harmonics?

Tom,

Just for info purposes in your gun, which size shot better?  The ones i sized (.3572") for you or the size doug sized (.3573") and i think i made you some .3578" or .360"  Can't really remember.

I can't remember either LOL.  I thought the first BBTs you gave me were heavier than 110 gn.  Anyhow I don't think there were enough of them to tell.  I do remember a Keith bullet in that gift tupperware (the only tupperware party worth having ) that shot well.  Maybe we should revisit that one for a lightweight alternative.

As for size and hardness, I've shot diameters from 3570 to 3585 and not seen any significant difference in groups.  The odd performer was the Hunter's Supply 127 gn FP which measured from 3575 to  35785 and are made with 5% tin and had some serious distortion of the drive bands, maybe a design to evaluate further.

GIFT Tupperware.....lol..........love it!

Yeah, that was the 110 gr LEE SWC.  I love those things myself.  They are about as accurate as JSB in my gun.  I shoot them at 870 FPS though out of the 16" twist TJ.  I also shot them in the OEM Recluse barrel at .358 and 1-20" twist and they were darned accurate there too.  The JSB's were the same.  Accurate in both barrel that are completely different.

I have a bunch of those cast.  I CAN HOOK YA UP!

The BBT's also have always been 110 grs.

My buddy is working on a new pin for that Devastator also.  So we shall see
