Conical through moderatley pitted barrel
If a barrel is moderately pitted and accuracy is affected on a ball would conicals improve the situation?
This would be for an older CVA Hawken. |

Have to try it and see. Might do best with a minie or a Lee REAL. Some of those older CVA's are 1:66 twist tho. They won't shoot conicals well no matter what.
