I know what ya mean by seeing better,, At 58 my eyes just ain't what they used to be, I found out that if I use 125 store bought readin glasses ( I use 250 for readin, and that's pushin it lately ) and optic sights I do pretty darn good, I did find a bigger front sight with 3 different sizes and two different colors that can be put on, The bigger front sight fills the V on the back and I can line my weapon up straight. I will try the looser ball set (yep,, I know,,, make sure it set ON the powder or the barrel will bulge) One thing that just amazes me with this new barrel is,,, With my new T/C 1 in 66, I aim at the bottom of the 2" circle at 50 yards and it will hit the center or top of the circle (some times, when I'm lucky) With the GM barrel, I aim at the bottom of the circle, and it hit's the bottom of it, And the holes are close, and I do it over and over, Now I want clover leaves, ( A QUEST) And I bet I will do it with this new barrel, I am so darn close now, Just some final tuning,,, I only shoot at 50 yard targets, I have dropped deer at 120 yards and at 20 feet,
My 20 feet antler burgers,,,
