Quote:I can't find any "kit" that mid-way offers....You might consider calling the guys at Brownells to see if they have one...Always had helpful experience when I needed something to solve a problem..
If you are shooting reloads, double check the consistency of the rounds before going into the expense of recrowning if visual inspection indicates no probelm,,sometimes the runout, powder charge, or bullet weight can cause an occasional flier...If, out of five rounds, the flier is consistently in the same place, the barrel may be the culprit...
If you have a certified gun smith locally, you might have him recrown it with a 11 degree target crown...Unless the barrel is already short as far as legality, you won't notice a drop in velocity and the accuracy will definitely improve...
You will have the same number of Lands, as you do Grooves and I think the powder pattern comes from the Grooves...Loss of part of the pattern would indicate one of the Lands is damaged and should be noticeable with a magnifying glass..
