Roundball friendly barrels
#197738 - 24/12/11 07:09 PM

I'm trying to talk our local barrel maker into building a cutter to do slow twist 12 bore barrels suitable for round ball use. Can I get a show of hands who would be interested, in the future of course. He likes to use 4150 steel so modern smokeless pressure ok. Im thinking a 1-100 gain twist but please pass your ideas along. Post this in gunsmithing section as well.

Why gain twist?

I like the idea, but for now I'm set on barrels.
A hotrod hardball nitro 12bore would surely be fun - even better if it was very accurate.

Cheers

My barrel making friend builds all his barrels gain twist. These may end up different but I can assure you when he is done they will have amazing accuracy. His barrels are world class. They are all cut rifled with cutters he builds himself. He is relatively new to the game so he does not have an established name. Price will be right but it won't last.
