HI all
I am making a confederate mtn rifle. I have a tube made by the late Bernie Kurdt with the 3 sawtooth rifling (shows how long I have been making it). Using the "air rifle pellet" projectile what should I size the projectile to?
Also, would hard or soft lead be the best way to go? Bear in mind I have 1200lbs of hard lead in my yard in the form of a sailboat keel so I am thinking hard lead with a thinner skirt. Any ideas about this?
Thanks in advance
