A second recrown checked with a magnifier gave the Wolverine used I bought the expected accuracy for my standards.

At least for hunting purposes now I know the rifle is reliable. This is a group at 85 yards. Good enough for my expectatives:

LOL…. Not so easy !!!!

Hunting and a shooting to a target from a rest are quite different activities !!!

Target stay until you are ready, pest insist in survive to be able to cause more problems!

It has always worked perfectly !!!

I have made the recrown for many of my rifles.

Two improvements to share.

1.- Recrown on the barrel of my Daystate Woverine HP HR. 25 Cal. I decided to recrown the barrel of this rifle and the accuracy became insane at 100 yards. 2.- Made wider the entrance of the projectile to the barrel of my Bantam sniper. I change the barrel to my Bantam Sniper HR. 25 Cal...

"Finally" I got the desired accuracy with the Bantam Sniper HR .25 Cal

Please read my comment of January 24 9:31 am. An update of the story. Almost 2.5 years took me to make my Bantam Sniper HR .25 Cal to shoot accuratelly. I know that many experts in this forum would get to the same result in very few minutes. I want to share my movements to make those that...

The next three shot were made a moment ago at 85 yards also with the Vulcan 3 .30 Cal .700 mm and JSB'S 44.7 grain.

For hunting purposes what is important is that you feel comfortable that the rifle will perform when the opportunity arrives just for a couple of seconds. THERE ARE A LOT of factors that can make you miss the shot A LOT!!!

But..... I took this rifle after 4 months of having it resting at it's soft case, made three shots and the rifle hits like this at 85 yards, then you are absolutely confident that, when the moment arrives after many hours of pursuing the trophy, this rifle will make its part:

Emu, I posted that because I know how much you practice and how well you shoot and would not take a shot if the quarry wouldn't be in position for a lethal shot! I thnk I have more confidence in you than you do! 🤗

Wow, a Dewalt hand lathe. Emu, I’m impressed. I would wreck a crown with that thing. You must have nerves of steel.

If I would have mess it recrowning a barrel as I mess it taking stock pellets out of a barrel, then I would not post the recrowning as something easy to do.

But every time I have made a recrown that way with those tools the success has been evident.
