Zoil Buffalo Hunter .58 cal twist

[Tasbay]

Have come across a Zoil Buffalo Hunter .58 Cal in a local gun shop. Can someone tell me what the twist rate is for this model?. I have Zoil Zauave .58 cal and it shoots PRB quite well but I didn`t have much luck with the Minie ball. The Zauave I have has the 1-66 twist rate.

Was hoping the Hunter has a faster rate of twist (1-48)

I have a Zoli Mississippi rifle - same deal - PRB good - minie not good - thought I measured mine 1:72 but its ages ago - maybe did a rough job of it.

Hello Tasbay,

My brother shoots a Zouave with the 380 gr. Buffalo Ballet quite well.
I'm not sure what the twist is. Problem is, you can't find them anymore.

I have a zouave it shoots quite well with minie balls and 60 gr. 2f.
I would say all the .58 cal zoli barrels were made the same.

The Zoli Buffalo Hunter has a 1 in 48 twist. BUY IT! They are good muzzleloaders! You may also try a RCBS N-SSA Minie in the Zouave with around 50 Grains of 3F.
