bullet jump to the rifling??
#26341 - 15/02/05 11:59 PM

Dearest Friends,
How much "jump" is too much??? I have an antique H&H cal. 450 #1 Exp. 2 3/4 in. It has a very slow twist and the orig. bullet weight was only 270 gr. I have tried swaging and paper patching, casting, etc. But every bullet I try always seem to be a L O N G way from the throat. I've finally got the thing shooting fairly decent with both bbls. coming into 6 or 7 inches at 100 yds. but I do wonder about the long bullet jump. Is it having an adverse effect on the accuracy. Any thoughts??? SP2
PS don't forget the CADS shoot April 30 in S. Indiana.

Mate, don't even worry about this! The Paradox-type guns had bullet-jump of 24-inches, and still managed way-better than 6-inches at 100 yards!

Admittedly with jacketed bullets, the Weatherby and Mannlicher Schoenauer have set global accuracy standards for decades, with the bullet completely leaving the case-neck before it contacts the rifling!

The only things a long bullet-jump will decrease are chamber-pressure and recoil! (provided the projie is correct diameter to 'seal' in the throat).
