Hello All,
I am thinking about a custom gun .500 S&W project with a 16 inch barrel, but, I don't know what rate of twist will work best for me.
I found a barrel blank with a 1:19 rate of twist, but, I don't know what weight of bullets will be best stabilized by that twist rate.
I would like to be able to buy and use cast bullets through the barrel, and I think the 440 grain LEE mold is one of the few available for the .500 S&W.
Thanks for the advice in advance!!!
