Rifle barrels

[Kurt]

Kurt the one thing about the RKS barrels is that they are pretty tight in the bore compared to some of my others. I should probably have mentioned it in my last post. In my .32-40 I use a bullet that is too small for my Badger barreled CPA in .32-40.

I was loading for the new CPA with the RKS barrel last night and tried three different bullets that fit my Badger bores. All of them had deep engraving on the nose. I'm guessing that the bore diameter is maybe 0.002" smaller than a Badger. My elliptical PP bullets fit well, but I need to use a Russ Weber seater to get them in. I'll have to wait until next week to shoot that one now.

A little late, but I just placed a order for a new CPA in the .45-90 and I was going to replace the .44-75 barrel so I called Ron and he could not make the barrel for the .44 specks I want. .438/.446 bore/groove. He is not setup for those dimensions and he is back logged pretty far so the .45-90 will have a #4 16 twist XX Douglas on it.
Really liking the 44-1/2 Stevens CPA rifles. Should have it in time for Lodi.
