What twist is used by Iloh in the .40-50 BN?

The standard 40 caliber twist is 16.
That is what my 40-50 SBN has on it.
One would have no use for a faster twist in
a powder challenged case. 49 grains of 1.5 Swiss
will still send a 420 gr PP bullet 800 yards, accurately.

Keep on hav'n fun!

I had a 18 twist like the originals cut in my 40/50 BN, it shoots the original 265 grain bullet well.

It has a 1:16 twist
