so good to see you here Bill!I have a few checkering files, that i have a strong feeling will do an excellent job! They have very sharp points, rather than the typical lines a normal file has. So one pass will do away with a need to do the norman opposing angle pass. (I Think) LOL!!! Knife
Actually, that is an interesting point.... If you start with a bullet that is the same diameter as the lands at the muzzle, and then knurl it, there is no reason that the choke should present a problem.... In fact, you could probably go a bit larger, starting with a bullet that is the same diameter as the lands at the breech, or even 0.001" larger as Bill suggests, since the knurling will reduce the diameter at the bottom of the marks even smaller.... Just a thought....Bob

Its an old southern, old south habit. Calling people mr. or mrs. and their first name, if we didn't know their last name. Its common here and definitely a respect thing. I'd get the stink eye as a kid if I forgot. It stuck. Mr Kirby just learned one of our southern habits, Mr Daniel. As a child we would have gotten a smack on the bottom as well. LOL

The wind is howling here in Eufaula, 34 degrees, nnw at 15 and gusting to I don't know what. Swirling from left to right and coming over the ridge where I shoot, playing havoc with any shooting at all. I went to the range and tried a few shots but unfortunately the conditions are such I cannot get an accurate assessment of the different ammo that I have prepared. I really want to test these at 100 yards and not 50. I need a calm, warmer day to see what this knurling will do, to be able to give it a proper review. I'm running loads to Michigan in the morning so it will be next weekend at the earliest I can shoot here again. Its supposed to be 78 here next Saturday and hopefully the wind will cooperate. As a side note.. I've noticed these really lead up my barrel a lot faster than pellets. I've put maybe 350 rounds down the barrel since my last cleaning and it looks like its time to do it again? Anyone else notice this? Maybe my barrel being choked has a bit to do with this?Leading is definitely more of a factor with my rifle and the lead/tin mix I'm using. I'll be trying some lube (10w synthetic ) on the next batch I put through the barrel to see if it helps .
