To All,
So I have been told that the "Butter Zone" between round ball and hollow based minie's is the magical twist of 1:48. I am purchasing a .58 cal flintlock online from a private sale. Now with that being said, I am using the flintlock for hunting deer in PA. All I was told is that it is rifled and the rifling is in great shape ( no pitting).
I am comfortable shooting a roundball, BUT, will a minie work? What would be the lowest rate of twist that would be a comfort zone for a minie? Would 1:36 or 1:24 work?
I am planning on trying the RCBS Hodgden and a trashcan (chicken bullet with three Grease grooves (I LOVE this bullet))
Does any one have any experience shooting a .58 cal flinter with a minie? Even shooting a flinter with a minie?
let the discussion begin...
