why does my Kodiak 580 double shoot cheap round balls much more acurately than maxies,minnies or sabots is it the 1 in 48" twist?

Roadkill
 
Welcome to the camp.
 
1:48 is supposed to be mid range so it can fire all types of projectoiles reasonably well. After that you just have to try and see what works best and seems for your rifle you have done that all ready. Those PRB's will be game getters< I would not worry about it but enjoy it.

58 caliber double rifle?...That sound cool...What is that, like a double
barrel side-by-side or over-n-under?...I'd like to of seen one of them...

You can post pictures in two ways. In the first one, THL is the "host", and in the second, there is a third-party host.
 
In the first case, it's easiest if the picture is in "jpg" format. That means that the file name has "jpg" as the extension beyond the "."
 
For example:
newpicture.jpg is "jpg" (pronounced "jay peg") format, and
newpicture.bmp is "bmp" (pronounced "bit map") format.
 
In jpg format, the maximum size THL will host is about 97kB. You'll have to make sure the size of the picture you intend to post is smaller than that. If it is, use the " Go advanced" tab below the "Quick Reply" box. This will take you to the "Advanced" editing screen. There, you will find a tab called "Manage Attachments". Within that section, you will find six places to load images. Each has a "Browse" tab to its right. Click on the "Browse" tab; locate on your computer the image you want to post; and "Open" it. THL will upload it. Close out of the "Manage Attachments" area, and "Post" your post.
 
The second method - using a third-party host - means that you load the image into a web-based image hosting site. From that site, you get a "URL" (universal resource locator) that "points" to the website that has your picture. Pasting that URL into your THL post, posts the image to THL. Lots of folks here use the third-party image host "Photobucket" http://s122.photobucket.com . If you go to that site, it will instruct you on how to use it.
 
You can practice loading pictures to THL at the "Test Forum" site located at the bottom of the "General Interest Forums" section of THL.
 
Good luck.

wooooooo woooooooo back up way morethan that, I dont een know howto gt the pictures from the camera to the computer.......sorry,:Banghead:

Maybe if you've got a wife or a girl friend, they can help you. Or if you still can't seem to get the pics from the camera onto the computer, check and make sure it doesn't say '35mm' on the back of the camera. You're gonna need to make sure it's at least a digital camera first bub:greentongue: . Ohh yea, and as far as the rifle shoot'n the round balls better, My guess is that 1 in 48 twist is not enough for sabbots? and they're tumbling. Just like you need a faster twist to shoot heavier/longer bullets in a modern high power rifle.

Down to Kinko's or somewhere like that (sometimes the local photo shop will have automatic equipment to do it) and have the pictures put on disc.  Put it in you computer and go from there.

If you know someone with a computer that can scan the pictures you could buy a little flash drive (about the size of cigarette lighter and cheaper I think) and move them to your computer that way.

notice the rifleing !!

He lives closer to me Paul, I will go take care of it.

I am thankful to find that so many others are enjoying b/p muzzleloading flinters! I have been shooting them for a long time and I try to show every young hunter I meet that the blackpowder tradition needs to continue. Thanks for having me on board. "Mountain Raider"
