barrel twist

[lukystiff]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was just given a hand me down TC white mountain 50 cal. carbine. it has a 1:20" barrel twist. Does anyone know what this barrel was designed to shoot? i have been using tc 320 maxi balls w/ 90 grains of goex ffg.as I didn't think the thing would do well w/a round ball.

You're T.C. with a 1-20" twist is designed to shoot heavier cast lead bullets, with 1-34" being for sabots and 1-66" being more suited to round balls. Try a heavier conical bullet like a buffalo bullet...
