Process of elimination...........Yes an excellent suggestion thanks NP - since I have his gun I will do that tonight

Evanix .357 Rainstorm barrels are 1:16.5" twist rate.I strongly suspect the .357 Blizzard is the same barrel twist, but I could be mistaken.
I'll measure that rate myself one of these days - but I'm inclined to trust WP's numbers. He's pretty precise (16.5), indicating some care in measuring, and also his number converges with what some other gunsmiths have said too.I'd be keen to hear any tips you have about strengthening that side lever...
Interesting. If that's the case, then it's even less likely then for the over-stabilisation theory to be relevant to your issue.I wonder if Evanix is putting different barrels in the Rainstorms and the (or some) Blizzards - because it seems unlikely that Will Piatt and other gunsmiths who have measured the Rainstorm at 1:16 collectively all made the same mistake. Could be different barrels in those guns.My days are so packed now that I haven't even touched my guns in weeks, but I'll check my RS when I can.
Actually I need to do 2, so a I got a little extra my friends 3D let all its air out last time we went shooting, betting the valve is shot ( wasn't an explosive dump like mine was)
