at last!! the real hyperbole - more like hyperbolic BS -

" If you study the geometry of those guns, you will understand why they hold a pattern longer. A shotgun barrel is like a violin... it has an optimum harmonic. When shot is consticted slowly, it tends to stabilize the pattern. Modern barrels are pipes with washers on the end. Also, using high power loads tends to blow the pattern instead of tightening it. Light loads produce tighter patterns. "

It just totally baffles me as to how this magic, tho well known seemingly to 'smiths of yore, has been lost to/on modern barrel makers?!?!?!?!? I mean OMG!! just think what that would mean to sales!!! With 21stCentury marketing that could mean hundreds of $. And the barrel boring guys - WOW!!! And Digweed and those current fools at Perazzi could REALLY write some records!!

Well, that's today's allocation of exclamation marks.

have a day
