You're right Vic, I don't understand it either. The faster twist would work better, but driven fast enough there are several 300 grain plus bullets that work well. My favorite is the 300 grain Speer in the 444.
My favorite in the 45/70 is the 405 Rem but I've had rotten luck finding them and have been using the 300 grain Hornady on deer and its great. I would love to find some 300 grain Speers for it but been SOL there too. Been trying to hold back on using my 400 and 405's.
