2.Lyman 54 cal 1:32 twist GPH
3. Tc Hawken 54 cal 1:70 twist GMB
4 TC Hawken. 50 cal. 1:24 twist Sharpshooter barrel
5. TC Hawken 58 cal 1:70 twist
6. TC Hawken 50 cal 1:48 twist
7. Renegade 45 cal GMB 1:28 twist
8. Renegade 50 cal 1:48 twist
9. White English Sporting Rifle. .451 1:20 twist Douglas barrel
10. Pedersoli's Rocky Mt Hawken 1:65 twist
11. Pedersoli Kodiak double barrel 58 cal 1:48 twist
12. Pedersoli's Gibbs .451 1:18 twist
So which one and why ?
I don't see it but I would like to try a Lyman GPH fast twist 50. I would like to test my paper patched bullets in it.
I also don't see the Missouri River Hawken fast twist. Again testing with the paper patched bullet.
For your question. I would pick #4 to shoot my Paper Patched bullets at elk.
I have a couple #7 but they are 1-30 not 1-28. I use them for deer and antelope. I would LOVE to have the chance to shoot an elk with my 409 gr paper patched 45 bullets.
