A friend wanted to sell me his 6" 25-5. I took it and shot it with all my types of lead .452 dia. bullets. It leaded the barrel like a sewer pipe and shot "buckshot" groups. I gave it back. Then later I decided to buy it to keep it from getting away. .452" dia. cast and jacketed bullets fell through the cylinder like poop through a goose. I bought a .454" dia. swc mold and sizer. Those bullets hung in the throats and would not pass through. Long story short it now shoot as accurately as any of my other Smiths.
