.30cal HW80 Barrel @ Kempton

[webb22]

Hey chaps,
I hear that there was a .30cal HW80 barrel for sale at Kempton? If so, does anyone know who was selling it or if it is still for sale? Or does anyone have one? I assume it was a Steve Harper brass barrel sleeved version?
Many thanks
Jon

I missed that... but I have to say, I completely fail to see the point... .25 I just about get, certainly at FAC 20 FP... but .30 on 12 or even 20FP springer !?!??!

A .25 will weight anything from 19-25 grains, what do .30 start at, 35 grain ? so at 12 FP, that's about 400 fps ! even at 20 FP, it's only 500 fps

I've had Fac .22 AND .25 ... the .22 is great for up 35 FP.. i had the .25 @ around 56 FP, but it was just stupid really. used the rimmy instead. I did have a .25 eliminator at around 22 FP wth 20 grain H&Ns - great gun, as the range was limited by the shooter to 40 yards anyways. so I just con't figure of a use for .30 at such low power levels...

Chaps are we forgetting that sometimes impractical things can be fun. I would like to see the hole a sub 12ftlb .30" pellet would make in a bean can!
Probably an expensive to feed plinker but why not? Maybe the OP likes to have/collect unusual calibres?

true, it'd be interesting, just impractical
