The formula is caliber x twist x 20 = maximum grains with a plain lead projectile. In your case .5 x 20 x 2 = 20. Anything more than that will make the bullet jump the rifling. THAT formula is well known, my own version of that is when firing a sabot that middle number is probably closer to 5. So 5o grains max for this thing. That twist is fast even for a sabot.
That formula explains why the big bore forsythe barrels with the very long twists can shoot accurately with huge powder charges.
Feed it a 495gr no excuses over 80ish grs of powder. I have one too and it is a tack driver.
The smoke in a modern house fire is so full of caustic and toxic elements from the burning plastics and chemicals that it will etch and corrode anything. Pottery, glass, stainless - you name it. They also used foam when overhauling the fire, and every inch of everything was sprayed with it. I've posted here before that had I had my guns in those silicone gun socks, I would have had little to no damage. The fire actually burned around my gun room, through the rooms on either side and then up and over through the attic. So the stock finish on the TC guns is pretty tough stuff, it was stained but not blistered etc. Stripping and refinishing the wood was the easy part. Some barrels required a 1/16" or more of material removal to get the pits out, most bolts and receiver internal still have pits. Most trigger parts had to be replaced.
Hello, are they stainless steel and would you be willing to ship one?
Hello, do you still have any of these and would you be willing to ship one?
Yes indeed. PM me. They are not stainless
