Thread: 22 cal smoothbore vs rifled 22lr bore RE SHOT SHELLS

first test before the taper reamer arrived didnt work at all only 5 pellets on a A4paper
with the taper tool used the inside of the choke was a lot smoother
but still didnt pattern that well with the Winchster #12 shot ammo star crimp left photo above
Mid photo was of some CCI shot shell # 12 this pattern was from the unfinished choke before the reamer arrived
right photo is of the CCI shot via the reamed choke
all shots taken @ 7m and pencil circle is 4 1/2 inches dia
strange the sound of the CCI ammo is a lot quieter
the tighter pattern could be the blue cover that holds some of the CCI shot together after the muzzle
will do some more work on a more refined choke now we are heading in the right way
cheers to all
