Brent:

It is a 1 in 10" twist. I shoot a 361 grain PJ bullet designed by Dan T cast 20-1 over 54 grains of Swiss 3FG with a .060 poly wad. The wood is from a blank I purchased over 30 years ago and I purchased the action at the Greg Martin Auction in SF a couple of years ago. I have another Hepburn chambered in 38-50 and I have been shooting the 38-50 for several years now. I really like the caliber.
