I think matte black is always the better choice if silver is the alternative. The contrast between rings/scope and barrel/stock will sort of match and looks good IMHO.

Thanks guys all of you are awsome :yeah:
I was thinking mat black also but the wife said silver but what do they know. ha ha
By the way the KRB has the domed breech plug witch kinda supprised me I thought it would have one like the disc extreme .
The bullets that TRAPCAT is sending should be here tommaro and I should have the scope by Thursday so if not rainning FRIDAY LOOK OUT
I'm going Target Hunting .

Hey Ron,
I've not been able to get out and shoot since and the way things are looking for the rest of my weekends in December, it may not be until the 2nd weekend of January. I'll keep hoping for a open day sooner. Anyway, I have not picked up the wads yet, but I'll definitly have the wads and another box of Maxi Ball's before I go out again. I did pick up some Percision Rifle Ultimate 1 450 gr. conicals with the polymar tip to try. I'm still planning on getting some Sabertooth's and I want to try the no excuses bullet too.
Last night, I ran another Horady G.P. 385 through the bore. Barrowed a caliper and measured .501 on both bullets. So, while I had the caliper, I started playing around measuring bullets. I'll post that data later, I don't have it with me. I did find out that I can't use the percision rifle bullets I bought, not to hunt with anyway. They are longer then an inch. Watch, they will shoot great. :lol: Most local box stores sell tons of sabots and very few conical. The department managers should read the Colorado regulations before ordering. The good thing is I have plent of time to work out a bullet before hunting season.

Hey Ron,
I stopped today and picked up some 1/8 felt wads, another box of Maxi Balls, and some 3Fg T7.
You had asked about my bore and I don't think I had confirmed. .501 is the measurement of both bullets I slugged with. I did notice that the bullet wasn't perfectly round after slugging, both had an off set that measured .504 When I start a G.P. conical, it is pretty hard at first but once the rifleing breaks through the top ring, it glides to the bottom.
Also, I'm measuring across the top band, closest to the point. (widest point)

Cajun, measure the NARROWEST point on the top band to get land to land. You are trying to measure groove to groove and that bullet probably isn't a big enough diameter initially to get that measure. That might also explain the offset.
