What are the bore and groove dimensions of a Shiloh 38-55, anyone know? Also, the twist rate.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

In searching for the dimensions I have read a few times that Shiloh use Douglas barrels for their 38 cals..

I have just had it confirmed, .375" groove and .365" bore and 1 in 16 twist. Harlan at Sagebrush has designed a bullet to go with this.
Thanks to those of you for chipping in.
