Well in about 83 or 84, my grandad gave me a CVA 45 rifle kit, a box of 20 TC maxiballs and a pound of a new fangled powder pyrodex. My 6th grade hands put it together and I'd guess more than 1/2 those 240 grain maxi-balls accounted for deer in the next 15 years or so. THe grandpa the powder and the bullets are now all gone beyond where eyes can see. Well I rushed off last year leaving my wife and 2 week old daughter to get in a quick hunt. I saw a nice buck several times, but didn't get a shot over two days. Walking back to the stand I decieded to take a small forkhorn I caught standing in a field a get on home to my girls. Well you guessed it in the rush of cutting meat and the new baby and all, can you believe I forgot to clean the gun. Yesterday to my chagrin I realized my mistake and the bore is a mess and is now shooting 6" groups at 50 yards, at this distance I used to occassionally shoot cloverleafs. Can I lapp the bore? I like this old smoke pole and hoped my girl would get her first deer with it someday.
I don't think firelapping would work, how do you cast a slug to hand lap?
