Shiloh 40 82 twist rate?

Post by stepnmud »

Have a nice Winchester 1886 in same caliber with it's standard twist of 1/28 and 260 gr. bullets in .409" dia.
Just saw this new Shiloh 40 82 caliber listed and curious about the twist rate and possible bullet weights.
thanks in advance.

Hey Art, thanks for that info.

Whats your bullet diameter?

I see now. .410 is that correct?

and what brass are you using?
