Daryl S,
I know what you mean about the twist rates, they are all too fast for my money. But as I have said, you have to buy them where you can and it generally means taking whatever is available. This was made to shoot the Lyman saboted slugs and it seems to do a good job with them, even with the faster twist rate. I have also heard of 1 in 28 twist barrels, and I suppose that was an attempt to be able to shoot a wider variety of slugs but I can't say if it works or not because I have never owned any. The double round ball loads were just tried to satisfy my curiosity about how they might shoot in a rifled barrel. The balls I tried were not first class balls and had sprues on them that stuck up some. I attempted to minimise that problem by loading the first ball with the sprue up, and the second one with the sprue down. In that way, at least the sprues were resting against each other and the balls might not be deformed as bad. I will try it later with some swedged balls and see if that helps any. 540's would fit better but I don't know if a mold is available in that size. Bob H.
