Ken,

I have the next Pope barrel after the one on Michael's R. King Springfield. Pope #595, dated 11/14/21, twist 14/0 is on a highwall. The chamber seems to be a .405 Winchester necked to .30. Smith's book says on page 171 that combination used 41 grains of Laflin & Rand W.A powder to drive a 220 grain bullet. Machine rest, 200 yards, ten shots look like about a 1 3/8 group.

Michael, I'm with Dennis on the scope - too ugly to retain. No other changes needed!
