OK guys let's see where this goes. I finally got the delivery of my Perdersoli percussion rifle which I refused because I wanted a flintlock.
Then I got to thinking (I know - major mistake): I have a T/C Hawken stock and lock laying around. Why not call Bob Hoyt and see if he has or can make me a .54 round ball shooter.
So after speaking to him today he can make me any length barrel I want, install and aftermarket under rib and ramrod barrels (2), sights, and a breech with hook for my T/C Hawken stock for half the price of the Pedersoli. He can put any twist rate in it I want. He recommended a 1:60 for the .54 but I was thinking more like 1:66 or 1:72. What rate do you think would give me the best accuracy?
Remember this will be strictly for PRB.
I may still order the Pedersoli with the 1:65 twist
