30-30 .410 combo handi help
« on: May 07, 2009, 12:52:44 AM »
O.k. got dragged in by reading all the posts about Handi rifles.
A few questions if I may.
I aint got the rifle yet as to see but hopefully may find a few things out before it arrives so I can get some gear for it.
So I don't have to make too many trips to the big smoke.
Its a 30-30 .410 combo..
The seial number is NF 22---8 with an A on the 30-30 barrel.
So its a '91 model then?
Is the bore one of them "microgroove " jobs or cut /hammered.
Thinking of getting a mould for it to shoot cast.
Rifling 1:10?
What would you consider one mould for shooting pigs with and down loading around 1000 ft/s for plinking and blasting  wabbits heads off with etc
Too many atricles to read here!!
Have had a look at the Stickies and a great lot of information you have there too!!!
Thanks
Bruce

   Mine seems to like a Lyman 311291 cast from wheelweights and sized to .310, but different guns will show different preferences for cast boolits.......... makes a good starting point though. You will need to slug your barrel to get actual size and then size the bullet about .002 over the barrel groove dia. For what it is worth, the micro groove barrels will shoot cast boolits every bit as well as the cut rifled barrels, it all relates to proper size and finding your rifles preference.
