Here yesterday, I fired a H&H factoryload paradox ammunition in the Rigby. Firing at a plate at 40 yards the ball tilted or keyholed. Oh well I thought, now I have tried it. I took a shell to cut open, to see how well the ball fitted the barrels, and there is no question the barrels are oval. Only two sides of the ball are in contact with the barrelwalls all the way down just before the muzzle where the barrel becomes a funnel or choke. It takes a gentle push of pressure to push the balls down the barrels. In my right barrel it can almost slide down by its own weight. I have grown wiser now without knowing why:LOL.
Some questions arises here:
1) The gun weighs 8,5Ibs, which dictate a heavy load ballgun.
2) It has a 100yard leaf, but which which type of ammunition can hit anything accurately beside
a bullet/ball the is stabilized with a twist?.
3) IF the gun was made to shoot pure roundballs, wouldn`t the barrel have been cylindrical bored?.
