[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2986427, member: 15054"] It was a very old rifle very slow twist rate can't remember exactly but 64 or 72 cal. 1:66 twist. Odd ball deal and he was just about to give up on it. I have had fun with muzzle loaders. One friend had a 1:36 twist inline that never shot good and he got a bullet stuck in it. that bullet stayed there for over 10 years and he never cleaned it after it stuck. I drilled the bullet out because it was really stuck. Nothing moved it not even heat. Did not want to heat the barrel to the point of no good you know. We eventually drilled the barrel smooth and cut it short then polished it inside. Thick wall inline muzzle loader shotgun!!! We use pyrodex or whatever black powder is handy then place a square of toilet paper over the powder then bird shot then more TP. Packet tight. That gun will spread to 3 feet wide pattern almost instantly But shoot it at 30 yards and the pattern is still like 3 feet wide. Oddest thing I ever witnessed... excellent shooter though. [/QUOTE]
