.30cal HW80 Barrel @ Kempton

[averageplinker]

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

I understand your point mr b, as I too own FACair (.22, .25, etc). And it does have its place where mr bouncy rimfire does not - believe me! But I was asking if anyone had seen the 30cal barrel at Kempton? ‘Practicality’ is an opinion and point of view after all
I was counting on you knowledgeable chaps, who often frequent Kempton and have an eye for such curiosities, may have more info on its existence + whereabouts. Failing that, I wonder if Steve Harper is still in business or available to chat to?

Steve Harper used to produce his own pellets for these .30 barrels. It was a 25 grain .25" Bisley Superfield bumped up to .30". They worked well.

Good to know mate - thanks

I did not see the 30 cal HW80 barrel at the last Kempton but saw it the time before, i did have a look at it and can not remember who the owner said had made it but i am sure it was not Steve Harper.

Thanks mate. Was it a trade table or an individual selling? Don’t suppose you remember who it was please?
