Hammerli SP20

Post by mld »

I slugged the barrel of my new SP20 S/N 514XX and came up with a dimension of .3115.
Should I go with this dimension and order some .312 H&N bullets or is my micrometer in need of repair? Has anyone measured one of these barrels lately?
Thanks for your input.

I don't think a soft H&N bullet of 314 would cause you a problem even if your bore is about 312.

David, how could you, after all the mean things you've said about the accuracy (or should that be inaccuracy) of the .32 S&W long!
