Default Whhhhhut?

I got my Italian .45cal in today. Has a 35" long barrel but luckily only 13/16" width so its light weight and handles great.

Okay I measured the twist. Did what I was told, mark the ramrod with the front sight and then slowly let it spin outward a 1/4 turn.

I measured the distance and came up with 6"

Multiply that by 4 and came up with 24 which makes it a 1:24 twist.

I noticed the ramrod does quickly come out of the barrel, its also a LEFT hand twist.

Odd or what?

No PRB's for that gun. Get out the PB's. Is the rifling shallow?
