I have read both my 1895s have 1-20 twist and im sure at a certain point it fails to stabilize. My guess is 460 to 500? But just a guess
Im calling on yalls expertise and experience of what is the heaviest you can go before you really start to lose accuracy in a major way.
You may be asking... why so heavy?
The goal is for a suppressed subsonic hunting round. Dont worry im not cutting my dads mint 1970s 1895 is going to be left as is. I bought a 2nd newer 1895 just for this suppressed project. So it has the ballard style rifling just FYI.
I have purchased a kit to lap and slug the barrel from buffalo bullets so that will tell me the bore diameter to start with.
So what is the heaviest you have got to stabilize out of your 1895?
Thanks in advance for your experience on heavy loads out of an 1895!
