How about that - I wasn't aware they came out with a rotary mag in a semi - HA!- I was on some pretty heavy pain meds after 1999. Wonder what else I missed out on?

I always wanted one of the semi's, just like the one in my gun room & figured they were 38", just like the lever guns - the 20" twists SHOULD be more accurate, but doesn't sound like it. Both my Marlin did better than 3" - more like 1 3/4" to 2" usually, at 100meters with 265's (.44mag. & .444) and so did my Winchester .45 Colt Trapper (16" bl.) with bullets from 260gr. Speer HP to 300 & 340gr. cast - all of those with 38" twists. Gotta try them to know for sure.

I've heard the .44 mag. 38" twist will shoot 300's - at least my cousin's .44 Marlin wouldn't, but it did shoot the 265's OK when driven 1,600fps, same as mine.

Those are some guns I wish I had 'back'- especially the .45 Colt - 2 Elk with that one. I'd much prefer a new 22" to 24" lever gun in .45 Colt to the semi.
