Just like when firing heavy conicals from slower twist rates, or patched round balls from fast twist bores.

Ain't that the truth. I have shot bullets in rifles that were never "suppose to shoot". But no one told the rifle(or the bullet).
I have seen big conicals shoot in alot of slow twist rifles. As well as round balls shoot in faster twists.
However I would still like to see a 45 caliber 1 in 20 twist rifle. That might cause me to buy another MZ. And I really don't need one. But that might do it.
I have several good 45 caliber molds. Both .452 and .458, along with a .451 Whitworth(not hexagonal) mold. Tom.
