[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1461719, member: 30902"] I can't remember the twist rate precisely but I know that the biggest problem was that they were very slow twists as the cartridge was designed and built around lighter bullets for minimal recoil. They came as short barreled carbines basically as truck guns for farmers and ranchers to shoot predators and the occasional deer with as well as for hunters in the upper ME hunting heavy wooded cover. I looked hard at picking one up for my wife who is rather petite and built for "youth models" but the shortage of brass scared me off. Remington's design and marketing guys could screw up a gold bar.
