    Bobby will advise you, when I asked him about bullet shooting for my 40 caliber rifle he suggested 1:14 for up to 420 grain bullets and it’s been brilliant. Beware of fouling with the smaller bores....

    I have gain twist in my 1860 Colt and also in my Pietta Shooters Model. Both are superbly accurate guns. Bobby Hoyt says they should also provide higher velocity. I have not verified this since I...

    You don’t need to ream the cylinder to .465. I would go to .454 and use the .457 ball. It will obdurate easily to fill the grooves and probably give you much better accuracy than the current...

    Pietta Shooters Model recommends .464” and its chambers are .456” but I’ve used .457 in them successfully. Most of my revolvers are reamed to .456” and use .457 balls or bullets

    I’ve taken two of these in trades. A 4-5/8” and 5-1/2” . They’re very well made and accurate as you say. I typically load 25 grains of T7 under a lubed Kerr bullet and it’s a snappy loading, good for...
