does the twist of this barrel affect it any?

I'm working on the same thing, I think you are on the right track.  I am starting with 170 gr. round nose made for 30-30 and Trail Boss.  I've heard that 180 gr. works good for 1-10 twist.

There was another site called Quarterbore's forum but the link I have doesn't work anymore.
