Over on another board I post on everyone says a T/C 1:48 is not a good barrel to shoot roundball out of and dozens of people have posted good targets and they all just say it's some kind of aboration. I guess the Hawken brothers had it right when they settled on 1:48 for their rifles.
I think I know what forum you're talking about. That's a bunch of bunk. I have a lot of 1-48 twist barrels and T/C's and they are all good roundball shooters. Its just a matter of taking the time to find the load, patch and ball. After that the rest is easy.
