All this talk of twists, Chicopee Falls and Westfield is getting me all twisted up. Maybe if I make it to Noxen we can drag a patch through my Westfield 24" 22hp barrel. The September question can be, who made the first 1 in 9 HP barrel? Should be 1-12" twist.. sorry. Just like it was in 1912.

My Westfield 250-3000 takedown barrel has a 1 in 10" twist. It's 24".
I may have to put a scope on the 99K 250-3000 and see how it shoots with different weight bullets. Then IF I get an antelope tag this year (that's unlikely, I haven't gotten one in the last 3 years) I'll go antelope hunting with it.
wyo1895 With Savage never say never. For a copy of my book on engraved Savage lever actions rifles send a check for $80 to; David Royal, p.o. box 1271, Pinedale, Wy., 82941. I will sign and inscribe the book for you. [email protected]

See if I can find another thread to derail?
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.
