Lyman advertises its Great Plains Hunter barrel (1 in 32 twist) as suitable for "todays modern conical and sabot bullets". But most manufacturesseem to use a 1 in 28" twist for sabot shooting guns. There's got to be a reason, right"
Anyone out there with a1 in 32" twist gun? What do you shoot out of it?
There is not enough difference between 1/32" and 1/28" twists to make much difference, unless you are going to use coniclas at the extreme edge of length and weight. Any conical that is no longer than around two diameters that hasa reasonably long bearing surface to engage the rifling should shoot pretty well in either. It is much more difficult to stabilize a long conical that a pistol-type bullet in a plastic sabot.
