    Twist rate for a short barrel?

    I'm not an expert and may be way off here but, the first thing I thought of when I started reading was this is basically just a long pistol? So if you built a charge for it like you would a pistol, why not? IT sounds like it would be pretty fun to shoot. Especially in .54. Wonder what kind of...

    Dumb question?

    Thanks everyone for the help. I have learned that I need to move both and I need to make notes and leave the notes in the gun safe where I can find them.
