If you find you're only firing blanks from your rifle, go to the lab (presumably the accurate reloading lab - the photo looks good) for someone elses special handloads.

Are you referring to projectiles, or trophies? Hope ewe clarify this.

It seems to me that there is too much emphasis on the "bore" and not enough on the "throat". And yes, shot placement is important but remember, USE ENOUGH GUN!
I just couldn't help myself, I had to join this fun and remind everyone to use their best PREMIUM BULLETS. As everyone knows, with this dangerous game hunting, PENETRATION is the name of the game. Good shooting.
During the years I have spent many hours braking in different barrels. If you do it careful your barrel will perform better. I believe I was slopy in the beging. Now I am satisfied!!

you have carefully covered most aspects of this rather exciting matter. I would just humbly remind you of some words quoted from, as I think, Jeff Cooper, which I use for my signature below: "The mark of the hunter is the ability to get close."
Yours,
Fritz

As a newbie, I'm suprised none of the shotgunners has mentioned back-boring as a way to make up for excessive throat erosion and still seem like you have the same amount of choke.
I'm suprised the varmint shooters out there haven't brought up the bull barrel theory. You know you a thicker barrel aids in "stiffness", thereby making "shot placement" more precise and also thicker barrels don't "overheat" as quickly. I'm sorry, but this is the best I could do. I found this thread a little late and the Moly coating inuendo was already used up.

I don't think that everyone agrees that the black projectiles are superior to the ones usually found on this side of the pond. Any comments from users?

best strip club of all time is none other than Al's Diamondback Cabaret in southern Pennsylvania. A close second would have to be Mr. G's Fantasies in harrisburg, Pa.
