Re: A Couple of General Cast Bullet Questions
Of the two rifles that I now have with 2 grooves, a P17 .30-06 Winchester and a 1941 No.1 Mark 4 SMLE (No.4 mark 1?) both have two very narrow grooves, lands taking up probably 80% of the area.

That's why I would think that the bullet shouldn't be too much bigger than the land diameter. But then I've not yet fired either.

That's against the law here in Missouri. You must shoot it or trade it! <G>
