Gain Twist Schooling

<< < (2/4) > >>

Pvt.Jack:
Many thanks for the responses.

Dphariss:
I have two of Jim McLemore's gain twist barrels 1 1/4" straight 44".
The 50 cal I have shooting really shoots well and I think would win any chunk gun match any where if the shooter did his part.

Daryl:
Dan- what is the rate of twist and load combination you use in that "plank" rifle, please?

Pvt.Jack:
It is my understanding that Jim McLemore is out of the barrel making business. Is that correct?

Longknife:
I have an original Ohio rifle stamped on the barrel, J Hayden Oxford Ohio. I had Bobby Hoyt bore out and rifle with a gain twist. It is .40 cal and the twist goes from 1-60 to 1-40 in the 36-inch barrel. I only shot round balls in it. I won a lot of shoots with that rifle back in the '80s. when I could see!!  It would shoot just about any powder charge you wanted to stuff in it with the superb accuracy...Ed
