The .444 was introduced in 1964, and the first models officially sold in 1965. These started life with the serial number range AA (I have one too......its mint with the 24" barrel and the Monte Carlo stock)

These are hand loaders dreamguns. The 24" barrel lets you play with different speed powders than the 20 and 22" barrels of today.

As for the rate of twist, it was a 1:38" for yours, and in the late 70's , they went for the 1:20" rate of twist and switched to the six groove ballard rifling (which work better for cast bullet shooting, depending on the cast bullet design)

The new Hornady Leverevolution ammo is not supposed to stabilize well in the slower twist barrels, and it even is stated on the box. (the spitzer needs a fast twist to stabilize in the air.)

I found that they were actually the second most accurate load I have shot in my gun.

(my home loads with the 265 Gr Hornady IL bullets and reloader 7 is still accuracy king in my gun)

hope this helped.
