What is the procedure to determine the twist in an unmarked barrel ?
Thanks for the info !I don't know if I can post the link because it's on YouTube but if you search YouTube for Black powder TV Bob has a video on determining twist rate that is really good.
If you don't use YouTube what you do is use a tight fitting patch push it all the way to the bottom of the bore and mark the rod then slowly making sure that the rifling is engaged pull it up until you make the mark move a 1/4 of a turn then measure from the end of the barrel to the mark and times it by four and that should be close to your twist rate.
I think I explained it close enough.
Squatch84 must have a short barred rifle, but his method will work. Most of my rifles have 32" or longer barrels.
