Re: Carpenter Bee and Snake Medicine loads for the T.C.

The issue is the rifling that destroys the shot pattern. What I did was to take a barrel liner drill for a 22 barrel liner and drilled the muzzle end of the barrel, removing the rifling for half the barrel Now there is rifling for half the barrel allowing 22LR to be shot as well as 22LR Shot.

Re: Gas Forges

Two thoughts on this. One is that I have never met anyone who can weld in gas every time. It's as if there are variables that are often unfixable. The second is to do as I have in the past. Use the coal to do the welding and gas for forgeing.
