Pardini barrel twist.

I just noticed on their web site. That the new models in 22 and 32 both have the same barrel twist of 6D X 450mm. What does that convert to in turns per inch?

1 turn / 15 inch.

1 turn / 18 inchs.

Thanks for the replys. Now I know why the 32 won't stabilize at 50 yds. You think it would be simple to change the twist to handle both International and Bullseye. probably not enough interest for them to worry about. Again, thanks for the replys.

We don’t have .32 pistols in UK so to test ammo we have a shorter barrel (UK legal) rifle with similar twist. I used the rifle in a historic match (much to the organisers scepticism) and cleaned it at 50m using Lapua factory. Lapua factory is hot ammunition is anybodies book, very accurate but costly. It ran out to 50m well whereas Magtech and Geco could not reliably hold the 9 ring at this distance. It will not solve the ballistic issues you have but could mitigate?
I used the 98 grain and not the 83 grain variety.
