pistol caliber rifle barrel twist question

[Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L]

all .45 Colt Marlins are 1:38 (the manual online was wrong for years) and they run 300s better'n most can hold. If I had my druthers (recently did), I'b buy a 1:16 Douglas barrel and have it done with, but that was for a single shot bench rest gun.

 

Thanks AJ....

So long as it still shot good enuff for cowboy matches, I wouldn't care what it looked like or what folks said. People are gonna talk, if they are talkin' about me, they are letting someone else rest.

Then you have the Rossi's. They have been 1 in 30 for as long as I'm aware of and always out shot the Marlins and Wins because of it.

Nate sparked an idea ... buy a Rossi replacement barrel, about 160 bucks, - cut it down and install it. Save the cutoff for the next ... Bulge! Sorry Gunner, couldn't hold back

PS: With 255gr bullets, can lob them on a 500m Ram. Suckers are very accurate to 200yds
