I think I remember hearing that the big boys had to go back to San Fransisco for fresh barrels
after each Naval engagement

The navy kept plenty of spare barrels at various Naval yards including the Washington Naval yard. Im Not sure how many rounds each barrel was good for but if you read the history of of each ship you will note frequent refits and time spent in the dry dock. Boiler reworks and barrel change outs no doubt took place during those visits to the yard.
 


That's not exactly true. While living in Tucson, in the winter it was off to the ski resort atop Mount Lemon in the morning or late afternoon into the evening. Allowing tan time in between. thanks

Usually, November throuh January it was snow skiing in the morning and go swimming in the afternoon.:E Laugh:

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
