[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5436672, member: 17"] I don't fully understand the ballistics, but know roundballs shoot best from very slow-twist guns, like 1:66. Lead conicals best from the mid-range twist like 1:48. The fast twist of many modern inlines are designed for sabotted bullets, but will sometimes shoot conicals OK. The skirted Powerball bullets (basically, a Minnie Ball) shoot well out of inlines. [/QUOTE]
