New rifle build

[Kevin Alexander]

I had a lengthy conversation with Gail yesterday. It amazes me how knowledgeable and helpful they are. I could hear her going through page after page of chamber reamer designs and information on brass. I ended up ordering a 40-70 SS silhouette model with a 30" number 4 barrel with a 1 in 14 twist. She said I should be able to use my 405 brass with no problems. She will also send me a schematic of the reamer used. Barrel will be around .408-.409. She will stamp it on the bottom of barrel. Wait will be 5 months. I went ahead and got the extra fancy wood on it and will finish that myself. It'll be the slowest 5 months ever. Now I got to get out the BACO catalog and start ordering 40-70SS reloading stuff.
