	Nero, Thanks for letting me know what kind of walnut that is. I need to find a Martini action for a 17 Ackley Bee project. I blame you for that. JerryH

	All of my single shots shoot one tiny ragged hole with cast bullets ... it's just the following shots that tend to open up my groups ...

The gunsmith I have been using for the last twenty years or so has just finished my new 5.6x50R BSA Martini and where as the other six Martini's he has done for me I have always been able to put the bullet either touching or ten to twenty thou off the lands this one has quite a jump. One in twelve twist on this one and the previous break open rifle in this calibre he did for me had a one in seven barrel for a seventy grain bullet but I haven't loaded for this one yet and am still using factory 55 grain ammunition. Which was why I was wondering if he had forgotten that this one was for a fifty or fifty five grain bullet or it was down to the reamer used? Using long throats was quite common before all the BP cartridges showed up for long range shooting and silly-wets were invented. It was done to get more BP capacity in the 45-70 cases which were about the only thing available in those days. Not sure why he'd make a modern jackets throat so long.
