Re: Standard 22LR rifling twist rate?
Why would the kit not function with the new barrel ?? I am supposing the reason is not the difference in twist !

Most of my 44 shooting is with a LBT 300 gr LFN GC that I cast. Looks identical to those when loaded. Velocity is around 750 fps. Maybe I need to bump them up a little. Been using 5.5 gr of WST for the charge.
