Here's the skinny. SBH leading in cylinder throats and where barrel screws to frame. Some fragments with light soft bullet loads. Throats measure .432 barrel measures .429 with restrictions at barrel screw in and a little at muzzle.
Have shot 500 rds or more of jacketed bullets through it. Trigger is getting very good and accuracy is improving mostly because of that and me getting more consistant and comfortable with the gun.
Marshall's Tech Guide is on order but I have not ordered any bullets yet. The local bullets only come in a 240 gr RN. They are bevel base also. I will probably go ahead and order Marshall's 265 gr gas check bullet and try it. Cast performance says they can get some .432 for me while I'm waiting on the Beartooth's.
I would really like to shoot a cowboy type light load for fun that would not lead and a performane hard bullet for hunting. Is this possible without lapping or should I start as soon as I read my tech guide instead of waiting on trying diffe4rent bullets?
