nice shooting you could probably put them all touching, I know that one can get excited from seeing the first three touching, then that is all what is on the mind. :thumbsup:

That is a good group windwalker_au congrats, I have a Pedersoli Tyron with a 1:65 twist for round balls, it's a good shooter.

Are you going to use your Tyron on any game?

I've got a .54 Tryon I've just finished fixing up. It's the slower twist though, so it's PBR only. Initial tests gave a cloverleaf at 50 and I hope to take it for a more thorough spin this weekend.

Cosmoline a buddy has the slow twist one 1 in 65 tryon, he had a custom minie mould made so it has the thick skirt but the base plug is very long it cast a 400 grn minie and shoots relay well in his 1 in 65 twist as most ot the weight is up forword in the minie, he gets 1 5/8" group of crossed stix at 50 meters with a heavy hunting load
