I have a .50 mini ball mould and would like to shoot some minnis out of my flinter. How much twist do you need? My rifle has a 1:55 twist. Too much? Too little?

Like MM said try them. 1-55 sounds like a PRB barrel. I have had poor experence with any thing but round balls in my slow twist barrels. But I like PRB,s best anyway. Rocky /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Minni's aren't the most accurate bullet in the first place in my experience.
I'm no expert but what I've read from others and experienced myself they are next to impossible to get accurate.
I shot a few out of my .54 caliber 1:48 twist and couldn't even hit paper at 50 yards.
I've heard many guys say they have to paper patch minni's to get them to group at all.
Barrel twist may be one of the smallest problems you have when shooting minni's.
Just my opinion
