I can't provide a pic as am still waiting for bullets to come and everything else is scattered about. The problem is I can't decide what sort of barrel to get and what twist to specify for a given weight of bullet. This will be for glorified target practice, etc, and will likely wind up shooting solid lead rounds.

I was considering Douglas but noted some good word for lilja and I have talked to Pac Nor about barrels. Would consider a poly bore and I think Lilja has these in 8" and maybe Pac Nor as well. Length is an issue as I am inclined to go 20" and under as low and slow is my goal. I would like to know what sort of precision shooting has been done with these and especially in heavier loads. That will determine what weight of porjectile I will use which in turn affects barrel chambering as regards throating.

I am sort of spinning my wheels and trying to go several ways at the same time while determining which factor has to be settled first: barrel maker, twist, poly or groove, bullet format, etc.
