rate of twist in carbine
Posted: Mon Mar 29, 2010 8:46 pm
It occurred to me today that I had never meaured the rate of twist in any of my '63 rifles.
My .50 carbine has a twist of 1x42". By comparison, my 50-70 Military Rifle has 1x36', a twist that will not stabilize 600+ gr bullets. Just as well - they aren't fun to shoot in a rifle that light!
Now I'm wondering what twist the '63 percussion Military Rifle has ...... ?
Tomorrow, I'm too tired right now.
