Good morning gents.
I have a barrel I'll be sending to Mr. Hoyt for a liner. The bore measures .413, and is at max due to breechplug size.
I'm wanting the bore diameter in the neighborhood of .357-358". This way I can shoot a sized-to-fit pure lead hollow base wadcutter. I'd also like to get some hands on experience with paper patching. 99% of my experience has been with patched round ball. 1% with Minie's.
In your opinion, what would be the best performing: rifling profile, depth, and rate of twist for wadcutter and longer paper patched projectiles? The barrel is 35" long.
