N/A .177 for slugs (primarily at least)?!
- Thread starter greenbeans
- Start date
I've looked at manny chambers that appear to have no throat at all. I don't know what the ultimate degree would be. We will know more as custom jobs are finished and results reported. Keep us in the loop please when finished and you are satisfied ot not on your project. Many thanks.

This is what I got so far, I also slugged the barrel and the drives seem to be somewhere between .176 and .1765. The slugged slugs were .177 16gr griffins and you can see the groves are more pronounce on some, rather than all of them.

I just checked again slugging with 178 varmint knockers and the lands are .175 and groves are .176.
Also I figure out the reason for less contact on one side of the grooves is due to how I'm pushing with the rod, not the barrel itself.
I'm conflicted on where or not I should take it to get the throat opened up, it's not hacking the slugs or removing any material. I trust my guy to make the throat but I would regret it if it change the accuracy negatively.

Great to hear! Yeah my thoughts are the same. I will still go to the shop.Show him the barrel and show him the slugs and see if he thinks it's worth doing or not. Given that we go way back, it's not like he's making much money off of doing it, so it wouldn't skew his judgment.

Spoke to my buddy and he said there no need to work on the throat as it already has a nice ramp. So it stays as it is. I am glad I took out the barrel as I could give it a good clean and learn how to take it out and put it back in.
