	Can someone please tell me the recommended rifling twist and bullet weight for 32-40 and 38-55 for 200 yd shooting? I may be interested in buying a Uberti High Wall, what is the rifling twist of their 38-55? I hear brass is tough to find right now, can 38-55 be made from something else? Thanks everyone! Joe S

	For 32-40 twists are available in 1:16 - 1:15 - and 1:14 The 1:16 is traditional but most target shooters today are using the 1:14 twist. Some benchrest shooters are using tighter twists down to 1:11. For the 38-55 the origional twist is 1:18 target shooters are usualy shooting 1:15 twist. 40 Rod

	Hi Joe I had no problem finding 38/55 brass this past winter , have you tried watching e-bay? I also made some from 30/30 and 32 Win spec brass and they turned out ok Ray

	.38-55 brass isn't hard to find if you don't mind the newer (read that too short!) Winchester brass. Finding it in the correct original length can be a task at times lately.
