Hope someone can help me. I'm just about to drop the hammer on a new Miroku in 45-90 but for the life of me I can't find out the twist rate on these guns. Originals are 1-32 for "express" bullets but I would like to shoot 400 gr or so in it so would need 1-20 or thereabouts. The modern 45-70 are 1-20 but no info on the 45-90. I've e-mailed Winchester (4 days ago) and no response yet so if somebody knows...thank you.
 
if all else fails, run a tightly patched bore brush down the barrel and use a piece of tape on the ram rod so that you can count the turns as you push the rod down the barrel

I've done that before but this is a brand new gun still on the shelf and they won't let me run a brush inside the bore. Nothing in the box/printed info offer the twist) It was a hired counter person and the store owner was gone, I'm sure he would have let me if he was there.

Anyhow after the info Arturo provided I phoned to have the gun held for me, was going to pick it up today but we have 7 in. of new snow here this morn. so will have to wait for hiways to clear.
