That conversation never took place. I don't know who the Shenandoah Valley guy is.

I believe what Robert's wrote about roundball twist in his book referred to old time rifle makers who typically made small caliber rifles and fast twist ie: 1:48 works fine in small calibers. Most of what old Ned was shooting was long bearing surface bullets, pickett bullets, swaged, and sugar...

Of course I did t realize I was dealing with a brain surgeon, I apologize. You should watch his video and listen carefully about what he says about twist in the first few minutes of the video. Also he's only shooting 60 grains. So.e people are better visual learners.

He states that the barrels had a fast twist. Faster than what they would use for patched roundballs. Thank you.

That's a basketball size group deadeye.

Who put all those shots below the target? I see 2 holes in the target. Have a nice day.

I am not a troll. I made a simple answer to a post and pretty much get called a liar for what I posted. If your gun shoots well with heavy charges, your a lucky man. Most fast twist barrels don't do well with heavy charges. Call any barrel maker in the country and ask the. What they would...

If you had done that on a clean target you might have some credibility. Who put the other holes in the target?

Also that's a softball size group at 100 yards. Where's the softball size group at 200 yards?

I can assure you my rifle skills aren't lacking. You can watch them on Shooting USA's Impossible Shots. Where can I go to see yours????

I'd love to see that done with open sights.

There's a reason Thompson Center never sold TC roundballs for the Hawkens. They only sold Tc maxi balls for the Hawken rifles.

I set the trigger and then turn in the screw until the trigger fires. Then you can back off the screw until you get the adjustment you feel comfortable with.

Ok

As luck would have it.

What did you use for a charge.2 mi I didn't say they wouldn't shoot roundballs. I said they don't do well with heavy charges. Fast twist barrels are designed to shoot long bearing surface bullets. Heavy charges and roundballs don't work very well in fast twist rifle barrels. Gotta love it when...

Not necessarily, after all Green Mountain Barrel Co. made lots of money selling drop in barrels with a slow twist for TC rifles, designed to shoot round balls.

Barrel $350.00, mainspring $35.00 you choose.

T The twist in the barrel is too fast for roundballs using heavy charges. Back off to 50 gr. and see if there's any improvement.

Y You don't need the cotton ball. Mark your ramrod for empty and loaded. Insure you are seating the ball on the charge every time. Letting crud rings go for a long time can ring the barrel.
