I am planning on getting another .357 levergun. I have a Cimmaron 1873 now. I plan on using it for target shooting and to hunt whitetails and hogs at ranges up to about 125 yards with 160gr - 180gr cast bullets - SWC's and WFP's. The Rossi/Taurus/Braz Tech is priced right. But from what I've read, all have 1 in 30" barrels. I know some 9mm handguns have 1 in 32" twist but they are intended for bullets of 124 gr or less. Most other .357 lever guns I've looked at have rifling twist rates from 16" to 19".
Are any Rossi's of any age equipped with faster twist barrels?
Will these 1 in 30" barrels shoot accurately at 100 yards with 180 grain cast SWC's or WFP's?
Online twist calculators indicate that my current 163gr SWC (#358156) needs about 1 in 24" or faster.
