Custom 12 gauge barrel for handi
« on: September 26, 2008, 08:16:36 AM »
Does anyone know if someone does custom rifled 12 gauge barrels. I would like one kinda like the old 12 gauge rifles of britian with a huge chunk of lead and a slow twist to make it accurate with a roundball slug.  Kinda of like what I have read Ross Seyfried shooting in old issues of handloader and rifle magazine.

You dont need a custom barrel to do that.  Just handload
with round lead balls of 69, 70 or 71 cal depending on the
choke in your barrel
