A hole right?? Just curious, what is the most accurate muzzleloader barrel you have ever shot or own currently?what barrel is the most forgiving with multiple bullets and loads?if you could pic one barrel for all your future guns,,who's barrel would it be?for me the most accurate has been a barrel nut Brux,,I have three #17 heavy Brux and one Krieger same taper,,,the lighter taper barrel nut out shot all three heavy taper
The most forgiving ,most accurate with multiple loads and bullets is a 1-20 wilson450-457,, I have a 1 in 20 twist Douglas that is right behind it,,, my cut rifle Brux and cut rifle Krieger are more accurate but they're not as forgiving with multiple loads as the button rifled barrels are. Seems like to me so many of us have learned so many little tricks to make a poor barrel shoot I wonder sometimes if we all know what a good barrel is. I shot my Douglas 1 and 20 Sunday evening , smokeless load with a 225 grain fury in a light blue,,, went ahead and ran three more shots of the northern precision 270 grain sharp point ran through a sizer right behind the Sabot load,,, the Douglas barrel will put a sabot load in the same place it puts a bore Rider ,just about will do that with any bullet between 250 and 300 grain you don't have to touch your scope not many barrels will do that,, by the way the Wilson barrel does that also again both of these barrels are not as accurate as my cut rifle barrels with a bore rider but with a broad choice of bullets they are hands down more accurate than my cut rifle.
