Here is the reply: Thanks for the inquiry. The twist rates are as follows: .357/.44/.45: 1/38 .30-30: 1/12 .223: 1/12 I'm not convinced the twists on the .357 and .45 are correct, I've never heard of anybody using that slow of a twist for those. But I do see that they use the same 1 in 38 that Marlin uses for the .44 Magnum. Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
