Hi, I stumbled accross this Cast Bullet Assoc. in pursuite of searching for a accurate bullet for my 32-40 rifle. I built the gun out of an old Winchester low wall action, using a 1/14 twist GM barrel, and have tried a couple of bullets that don't work.
I've tried multiple powders, 4227, 4198, 2F, 3F, and duplex with the duplex giving me the best accuracy so far, which isn't good.
I currently have tried the 165 gr, flat nose mould from Saeco, and the 200 gr, flat nose, 1.044in, .321 mould from Saeco. Neither is working.
The 165 gr flies, no group, and the 200gr bullet groups better but has some fliers with poor stabilization.
According to twist rate calculations, a little longer bullet might work?
Have any of you had luck with this twist rate and 32-40 caliber?
thanks Lynn
