False muzzle rifle
lexington1:
Thank you so much. This is a a lot of great information and I really appreciate it. I will send the barrel off to have rebored today. I am having the scope built for it too. I probably will have to make a base mount for the rear of the scope.
I have been shooting round balls since the mid 70's, but this venture into slug shooting is completely foreign to me. It sounds like fun!
Now to find a mold or two and a sizer and start making slugs. I also need to read Ned Roberts book again.
snapper:
Before you start buying molds and sizers that you might not ever use, you might want to try some various size bullets in it to see what fits.
I dont know what these rifles shot, are they shooting 500 + grain bullets? Or shorter lighter bullets?
I would be happy to send you some various sized bullets and you can at least see what might or might not fit in it if you like.

Thanks Snapper. Let me see what I can dig up here first. I used to shoot Sharps cartridge rifles, so I probably have some misc. bullets and molds. I certainly appreciate the offer and I might take you up on it when I get to sorting this out.
snapper:
Not a problem, happy to help.

Be aware, some guns marked Billinghurst are manufacture in California and were gain twist guns. They were not built by Billinghurst but rather under license.
