Hello,
My heirloom .22 revolver barrel was damaged by a light load that left the bullet 2/3 of the way down the barrel. The next round impacted it resulting in a lengthwise split on each side. A local gunsmith suggests drilling and sleeving the barrel but I would like opinions on whether the sleeve alone will contain the pressure in the bulged area.
Thanks, Frank
