Shiloh 38-55 rate of twist

Post by Jim VanMiddlesworth »

What is the twist rate Shiloh is using for 38-55s? Mine was made 2 years ago.

It probably took longer to post this question than it would have to measure it yourself. Just push a tight fitting patch through your bore and measure how far it takes for the rod to make one revolution. I don't know what Shiloh normally uses for a twist, but someone else will probably let us know.
Good luck, Cody

I know how to measure it but the gun is in the safe in the basement and the cleaning rod is out in the shop.
