L.H. Smoke Pole:
Hey all, New here, been occupying some time over on the rifle builders forum
Joe S. suggested I bring my question over here as to the Title of the post.

What barrels are you guy's using, what type of yardage are you shooting at and accuracy ?.
Ball and patch shooting is what I want to stay with.

My first build will be a Rice 42" Swamped barrel. .54 Caliber.

Looking forward to some information.
Thanks.

smylee grouch:
This can be a real can-o-worms. It starts with the definition of accuracy.   Accurate to some is keeping your shots on a steel gong while others might say clover leaf groups at a certain yardage. Gentelmen, start your volly.   😁

L.H. Smoke Pole:
Sure, I understand that/

So I'll restate this
Accuracy  in distance, Target paper Hunting shooting inside the last hole you shot accuracy
How many yards out has someone taken a Elk or a deer?.

recurve:



100yrds groups

50yrd groups

L.H. Smoke Pole:
Good shooting. Thanks.
