Just wanna know what the correct Twist rates for the deerstalker are?
I have read somewhere on the net (cant remember where) the DS stainless has a faster 1X32 twist??? As apposed to the DS blued 1X48 twist??
Just want one for 50m paper punching fun! (with the peep sights) Thinkin the faster twist would be better?? Or would the 1X48 be fine for Conicals/slugs? Any thoughts anyone??:?::?::?: Thanks

i have a lyman deer stalker flinter , its a bit older early 80's vintage maybe , and its a 48 twist it does ok with both r/b and minni 's shoots both more then good enough for hunting but its not a tack driver with either maybe it'll shoot better with more load development , but i pretty pleased with it for a hunter it carries nice and no complaints with the rather crude lock

They are both 1X48 twist, both DS SS and DS blue. Confirmed by Lyman.
Wonder if this twist favours balls or conical bullets?
