	Can someone tell me what the groove diameter is(and maybe twist rate) of these calibers? By that I mean from actually measuring the inside of a vintage rifle barrel- not what is in books. Thank you.

	Thank you for trying but I was interested in the .32-40 Remington cartridge. It is different from .32-40 Win.

	My #8 Union Hill Ballard in 32-30 measures .315 in the grooves. If you need bore dia I can get that but don't have it committed to memory.

	My 32-40 Remington is 1 twist in 18" with a bore of .3065 and grooves of .3125. The chamber is .310 and the original Ideal 32-40 R 150 mould I have casts at .312. Haven't shot it yet to see how it performs.

	Trying to set the record straight after discussions with a lot of people without first hand knowledge. Getting answers to questions that I have always wondered about. They were smart guys back then and we can learn a lot from them.

	Ken, My Hepburn in 32-30 slugs .312 - .308, with a 1:20 twist. The chamber cast was about .314. A bullet smaller than .314 just won't shoot. -06
