Uberty 66 44-40 twist rates

[Herbert]

A friend has a early Uberty 66 rifle that he is having trouble geting to group,every thing looks good, bore crown&chamber but he does not know the twist rate,if somone could give me the twist rate for this rifle I will make up some loads that should work for him

What powder, bullet design and weight, aren't working for him now?

The reason for my interest is I just acquired a Uberti, 1866 Winchester reproduction myself.

Thank you that is what I was after,Stillwater I hav not loaded any for him yet,but if the older Ubertys have the same twist rate I would think a 200gr .61 long bullet travelling at1162fps to 1200fps should work well,I live in Australia so the pouders I youse are ADI AR2205(H4227/H110)or traill boss for these type of rifles

Oh, I see the problem... Your from the land down under, and every thing is upside down compared to us here...    Not being serious of course...

Still, if you would post updates to your 1866 Uberti reloading efforts, it will be good to read.

Thank you,
