If it is taking that much effort to clean out I would certainly shoot it and see how it goes. If it shoots fine, then I wouldn't worry about it. If it has some trouble with accuracy then I would shoot enough rounds through it to know it has had some break in, clean in between any sessions, and...

I have never checked what caliber a 12 gauge barrel comes out as... .71 caliber sounds fun though! :D I feel like I remember people shooting with patched roundballs out of smoothbores but I don't remember anymore. I think it is hard to get great accuracy beyond 50-75 yards without rifling, but...

I haven't stopped praying for your son in law, your daughter, and the rest of your family. May God be with you all in every moment.

It seems the inspector didn't know to check for the quality of the wood under the foam. :confused: When we started noticing issues two years in, even the foundation professionals didn't find the problem. We had to go down there ourselves, start knocking on wood till we heard something...

Can you come to my house? :ROFLMAO: Some genius decided to spray foam the entire foundation of the house I'm in before I move in (probably to hide problems) and now the entire thing is rotting. 😓 There seems to be miles of this stuff to remove in order to make room for new foundation pieces.

If anybody is curious about learning gunsmithing, check out the American Gunsmithing Institute. They are who I will be learning from when I get together some funds and a space in the garage. They are true gunsmiths that teach actual function, not part swapping, and you learn from videos at home...

I wish I could say I could do it, I had taken some gunsmithing training and became an AR-15 and Glock armorer, but life changes and sickness have kept me from getting a finished education. I think Aberhan's advice is good though, in the case of some of your needs, you probably can find someone...

One day I really want to shoot a muzzle loader. Hunting? Well if I ever get the chance I'll have to try.

I'm not sure I am understanding the symtoms exactly, but could there be a headspace issue here?

Looks to be grouping nicely!

What action is that built with? And is that barrel using a lock ring attatchment like on Savage rifles? I do like the way Savage attatches the barrels.

Stay safe, and prayers for those in the vacinity of those fires. I am fortunate that fires are not a problem I am aware of where I live.

It is almost always humid where I live in Arkansas. I don't usually look at the temperature on a computer and don't have any thermometers outside, but it has been hot, I assume 90 + lately. I actually am quite accustomed to the feel of being in the summer heat, dialed in my clothing decently for...

Just saw this. Prayers your friend makes a recovery.

I don't think I would be looking into either of these calibers anytime soon, but I have to say this thread has been an interesting read and makes me quite well disposed towards the 35 Whelen should I ever have reason to use something in that realm.
