I forgot to mention that using tubing mics I did confirm the ‘wall’ thickness to be uniform within a few tenths, which is to say it’s well centered at the very breech end. Also I don’t mind losing a bit of the end. If they want to overbore, machine center, or turn down 1/2” for grinding...

I have a barrel of particular interest that was machined for a clamp-style receiver at 16mm. It was not machined well and this surface is wavy and inconsistent by a couple thou. I’d like to put this barrel in my RAW which needs to be .625 (+0/-.0005) diameter. So I assume the only good...

I’ve tested a variety of 10.x gr, 13.4gr and my two 20ft-lb FT rifles prefer 13.4 original monster profile. I don’t care as much about small improvements in trajectory as I do minimal flyers at 45-55y. Slugs are cool but would be unsafe in many locations, such as my club.

Grossly underpowered for shooting at 100y.

I’m willing to bet that there is no difference if you compare enough measurements over enough spools of wire.

Most prescription eyeglasses in the US are sold through a monopoly. Prices are artificially high.

I’ve used it to swage some pellets. My next spool of wire will come from them.

NSA wire is high quality very pure and clean. A+

I’ve seen a score boost from using a good batch of pellets that the gun likes. That said, my Thomas seems to shoot everything a little better. But it’s only an advantage when it’s shooting a good tin of it’s favorite pellets.

A break barrel will be too loud and not powerful enough for many situations. A suppressed subsonic 22LR would be my choice can the suppressor will be the most expensive item. High powered PCP Airguns can do the job but not as cheap or easy as the rimfire.

Picked this up on the range where @bearbar was having a time getting a certain setup zeroed. Hit the metal target frame.

The lead itself should work fine I find that the purer the lead content the better. As for using pure lead 9mm bullets as slugs, the others have covered the matter well.

I find that with changing pellets in springers the POI moves around a lot more than PCPs, and it makes sense considering how much less vibration happens in a PCP. Generally a heavy pellet hits lower but if the harmonics are significant it can override that.

The Simmons I have is old school before China was making scopes for name brands. But the optical quality is only OK compared to better glass.
