Don't know if you hand load or not, but if you do and like cast bullets.. They do have Ballard rifling, but the twist is a bit slow for my liking at 38:1 It will work well enough for most .44 bullets but is iffy when they start reaching up to the 300 grain range.

Mine is a Ruger 77/44 plastic and stainless w/20" twist. Thor's hammer on deer and pigs.

Is there a better lever option you’d recommend, perhaps with a faster twist? Like maybe a BLR or something? Not really wanting to hunt (and pay) for an old Winchester.
