I'm enjoying his videos - and envious of his immense gun collection (he complains that he "only has three 444 Marlins..." ).
It is interesting he says that Ruger will be making the Marlin 44 Magnums with 1:20 twist...I couldn't tell if he also meant the 444 Marlins would be as well.

That was excellent video of the similarities of these cartridges! Not so sure i swallow his 1:38 Twist excepantance just because of a faster muzzle velocity? Not saying he's wrong, but I'm not sure if understand and believe it? I'd have to prove that one for myself! But I watch most all his when I get into watching any videos, really admire his boldness! I think?

I had an acquaintance in Oregon named Pete Thornily (see his power factor equation) and Pete was a good friend of Marshall Stanton as well as being a very advanced handloader. Pete and Marshall came up with their own blended powders to boost velocity in the .444 among others, and Pete used his Marlin with the 1:38 twist and heavy bullets (350 grains???) very successfuly in Africa. I think Tim is fully correct about raising velocity to enhance heavy bullet stability in a slower-twist barrel.
