Did you ever slug your barrel to see what the diameter actually is?
It's really dirt simple to do. Clean the barrel and oil it a bit more than you would for general storage, get a slightly oversize, roundish piece of lead - sinker or muzzle loader ball - and wham it into the muzzle, then push it through with a cleaning rod. A micrometer is nice if you want that last ten thousandth measurement but a set of calipers is accurate enough for the purpose.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

I have a Legendary Frontiersman 38-55, shoot 265gr hard cast gas check bullets sized to .380 at 1855 fps over RL-7, unreal accuracy for the platform and absolutely no leading. Hello, My wife just bought me the exact same rifle. Do you mind sharing what bullet mould you are using? Thanks
