  I have an older (1994) catalog that lists the swivel bbl. rifle as having 6 grooves at .007" deep and a 1 in 32" twist, bbl is 23-5/8" long. It would thus seem to me to be more suitable for a conical bullet (or sabot) altho sometimes round balls shoot just fine at short range. I would start at 50 gr. Ffg and work up a load from there, 5 grs at a time, for accuracy. For hunting , maybe start at 75 gr. or so and do the same. Emery
