Little confused on this matter. Thinking on getting nother barrel but want strictly a low charge ball twist in a 54 cal.
Like to load smaller charges[60 thru 80 grains 2Fg powder] as well as a hunting charge of up to 110 grains of the same.
Have read that there is a perfect twist rate for this and thought it was 1 in 70 twist but cant find where i read this.
Is there advantage to shallow v deep grooves and what about the round bottom rifling v square bottom?
Thanks in advance.
Oh and if possible id like to thumb start the patched balls and have no need for a short starter.
