1LONGBOW,

I don't know what your rate of twist is, But i think i can tell you how to find out, If you have a cleaning rod you can take a marks a lot and draw a straight line lenth wise on the rod about 16 & so inches long, Then start your rod into the barrel, Make a mark on the rod and push the rod untill it make a full turn,mark it then measure the distance between the two marks, this should give you the rate of twist, Hope this helps. Good luck and have a good CHRISTmas and a happy new year........Joe..........
