when I slugged my Type 99.......
Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2005 5:37 pm
I noticed the slug gave way not to far from the muzzle.
I fell to the reciever about 8 inches from the muzzle,
unlike my #4 Lee. I had to beat the slug all the way to
the reciever and finally dropped out at the throat.
The slug I used was .320, seemed plenty big enough
for the purpose.
Is my barrel shot out?
Also does this rifle have a very deep throat? I made a dummy round with a 150 grain Hornady and it didn't reach
the rifling. I read that the original loading is with 185
grain bullet, so it's longer than 150 grainer.
