Ok, I am asking these questions not to be causing problems but because -- I just cannot find a True Logical Justification for it.
Why after Winchester's long history of flat nose bullets in their developed rounds(44Henry, 44-40, 38-40, 45-75, 45-60, 40-60, 38-55, 32-40 and so on), just why did they introduce the 1894 -- 30WCF 30-30 in a Full Round Nose bullet? IMO Winchester did a lot of experimenting and researching before releasing any of its designs and changes. As seen in Herbert Houze book "Winchester Repeating Arms Company Its History & Development from 1865 to 1981."
And Then,
When did Ideal/Lyman offer the Flat Nose #311041 or #31141? Also Was it after the manufacture of the Round Nose #311241 or #311291, both for the 30-30 cartridge? This following statement is taken from the Lyman and Ideal Description listing found on a website. "The 311291 is much shorter than the 311299 and has a true round nose profile to allow use in lever guns etc. It is also a bore rider design many folks seem to find it more accurate than the 311041 in the 30-30." Do not really know who made that statement.
So what is True and what is Myth?
I am in the process of selling a Chiappa Spencer Carbine in .56-50. Someone told buyer the barrels were bored wrong. I think they are confusing them with the Pietta Smith Carbine. Anyone hear of a problem with Chiappa Spencer barrels, other than maybe needing a little Loc-Tite?What is the alleged problem with the barrels "bored wrong"?
