..and again, 3 indentsments are roll die unto the barrel. They go all the way out and they have a twist of something like 1:70 + they sqeezes tighter towards the muzzle.





I believe the true paradox twist rate was 1:36" so you might be a bit slow for the fosbery slug?




You are right!.

I have tried now my homecast fosberry slugs of .743". They didnīt do so well. I believe this ball gun is made for roundballs somehow, even though it was made in 1903 and sold in 1905.

My slugs weighed over 800grains which is too much. Maybe if the slug weighed 720grain instead.

My enigma is still why Rigbys in 1903 made a gun to shoot roundballs, when the whole world of british gunmakes had turned over to conicals?..Even Rigby by 1896 did conicals in their ball&Shot guns. The gun has a 100yard flipsight and the gun weighs over 8ibs...all indicating itīs a heavy ball gun using conicals.

I will here soon try roundballs...maybe I am in for a surprise?.
