KKM Barrel and lead
I had a hardball gun built a couple years ago and never shot any CMP matches and I don't think I ever will. It has a kkm barrel. I was thinking about getting the slide drilled and tapped for a mount and have another wad gun. Will this barrel do just as well as a Kart?

I just installed a KKM in my wad gun and it shoots lead just as well as if not better than a Kart

It's going to depend on sizing of your lead. I have found that KKM tends to shoots jacketed better than Kart, and Kart tends to shoots lead better than KKM. Only way to find out is to shoot the gun and see what she does.

I purposely had a KKM 13 twist installed in my wad gun and at first, I had some leading in the lead but after shooting somekc.crawford.7 wrote:It's going to depend on sizing of your lead.

JHP like a couple of hundred threw it it stopped leading. I also found that the Zero LSWCHP bullets were some of the causes of leading due to the lead particles left from the manufacture of the bullet after giving them a good washing in Rooster liquid lube and finding the lead in the bottom of the plastic bowl I was using.
My KKM barrel is very accurate and will shoot better than I can hold it with lead or jacketed bullets.
