That would be sweet sitting beside my 225.

Any idea the twist rate? Would assume 1:10?

Truthfully I'm not positive but what I've read says generally 1:12 for that caliber.

Pretty! Wood and deep blueing never get old.

Appreciate it. It's gonna be slower than what I'd want, so don't do it for me, but if you're curious it's easy to test. Get a cleaning rod, put a tape "flag" around it near the handle, push it through the barrel until that flag makes 1 full rotation, and then measure how much rod you had to push through! It'll get ya in the ballpark
