I recently pickup a nice Winchester 1885 Limited Series 32-40 and I'm collecting items to shoot this rifle. The rifle has a 16 twist and as best I can measure the bore with a 35 cal cast bullet, drive it into the muzzle, it looks like I have a .321 grove and .315 bore. Being a slower twist will this rifle stabilize 180 grain bullet? Just this morning I bought a 321297 single cavity mold off eBay. I also got an Accurate mold with the rifle, its number 31-156C. Looking at that mold on Accurate web sight it can be ordered bore size from .295 to .325. I have not cast with it yet but I'm hoping for a .322 or .323 and weight unknown. I will cast this mold soon to determine weight and size, I'm hoping for the best because it came with the rifle.
So I'm hoping some 32-40 shooter will chime in on the 180gr bullet for my barrel twist. Thanks in advance for any and all comments.
