I know that the forcing cone of a revolver is funnel shaped to help guide the bullet from the mouth of the cylinder to the bore of the barrel and that it is an important part for accuracy. In some advertisements for customizing revolvers as part of the overall job they state that they will cut the forcing cone to 11 degrees. This leads me to several questions:
1. What is the normal cut of most forcing cones.
2. If 11 degrees is better than the normal cut then why isn't it done at the factory that way?
3. Is a 11 degree forcing cone better then what ever is done at the factory?
4. Does recuting the forcing cone increase the BC gap?
5. Is there any way a 11 degree forcing cone can be bad?
Thanks
