Hex barrel vs Round

[tx gunrunner]

A person needs to know so they can buy either hexagon or octagon bullets.

Here is the bullet you can use if it is hexagon rifling . It was a sniper and target round in the civil war and still used today in long range shooting . The octagon rifling use round bullets in the black powder days in muzzle loader .

That was some very interesting reading, TGR. Thanks.

You mean my Henry is an evil assault rifle??

Only if you paint it black.

Love my 30-30 cch with octogon barrel. I think with me it is pure aesthetics. Have to admit at over 8 lbs, my repaired rotator cuff and the other one that needs repair don't appreciate walking the woods with it. As long as the eyes work with the semi-buckhorn rear, I won't be adding a scope and any more weight.
