Rifling twist in Pedersoli Liegi screw barrel.

[HisSoldier]

I got one of these recently, a fun gun. But I noticed at the gunsmith's shop where I bought it that the riflings had no twist. I've seen websights about it that say the rifling twist's are 1 turn in 18, now that would indeed stabilize a projectile. Mine, as would be expected, does not stabilize the ball. Little things like that really bug me, does anyone else here have one of these that you can check the twist for me? I would like to bore the forcing cone a bit longer for a 230 grain cast .45 ACP bullet, and 1 in 18 would stabilize nicely.

Does it have enough powder capacity to push that large & heavy of a conical?
Mec has one and posted a product review on the Dixie website:

Yes, I think it does but won't know until I do it, also, there is plenty of room to expand the powder chamber. The handle is somewhat wimpy, and that would be the deciding problem.
