Thread: Help identifying projectile

The crown has been re done. When I got the rifle the seller was not forthcoming with its condition. I couldn't get any accuracy at all with the ammo I had on hand. The clubs gunsmith had a look and the barrel had bulges in it. One right at the muzzle. He counter bored down past the bulge and this improved it a lot. I then found it shot better with the 158gn flat point projectiles. I originally put this down to the heavier projectile. As DM didn't have anymore I bought some round nose 158gn. These do not shoot well.
I decided to try and get a 125gn bullet to shoot in it with a load i can also shoot in my pistols so i have one load for a match. I tried different loads of different powders with no improvement. Then a mate gave me few different projectiles. One was a flat point 125 that shot reasonable. The DM offering is similar and also shoots reasonable. He also gave me this 140gn bullet that is the best of the lot.
