Deeper has been Better
Good Morning Kevin,
I have been playing with the deeper chambers for the last five years. This year I went to using R50 and have really been impressed. Mike Cameron got me interested by finding a Lot that shot “lights out” in his Suhl barreled by Wayne Smith. Wayne’s chambers are deeper because of position shooters needing to be able to extract live rounds – I don’t know how much deeper. Well anyway, his guns with the deeper chambers have been killers, mine as well as, Mike Cameron’s won the IR 50/50 List shooting two of Wayne’s guns this year and there are several others. Jody Reed’s gun cleaned up last year shooting indoors, and you know all about how the Kempley’s shoot theirs.
This past Tuesday I shot a Turbo with a 6 groove Rock Creek barrel fitted by Gordon Eck – with a deeper chamber – Gordon and I are running an experiment using R50 against Eley. This was the second time I shot it, the first time just learning where to set the tuner (a very interesting story), on Tuesday I shot it playing with different ammo, the best Eley was 2119 at 1066 it shot ok, but I keep getting droppers and I went to R50 Lot 150 and I can see a bunch of promise in this barrel. I’ll see if I can find out from Gordon and Wayne how deep they are going and get back to you. I think you are on to something that can help us all.
