OP SU35 Campfire Outfitter S Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 14,467 Northern Arizona	I found a Marlin 1894 CB in 44 mag with a 24" barrel manufactured in 2003. I suspect it has the 1/38 twist. I want to shoot 300 grain Hard Cast bullets in it and I am seeing where from others past experience that it takes a .431 dia. to get good accuracy otherwise their cast bullets were key holing. Anyone here have experience with this bullet weight of 300 grains in the 44 mag 1/38 twist? I am hoping for accuracy...... thx,
