It is easy enough to figure out but using a cleaning rod with a snug fitting patch, insert rod from muzzle end, make a mark about two foot up th rod, slowly push rod into muzzle and you will see the mark you made start making a twisting motion, once mark has made a full twist,make another mark then measure the distance between the marks, I'm think that .45 is going to be a 1 in 20", which is what the 45-70 is I believe.
