Plus 45cal sabots are much better now. Numerous compaines jumped on that wagon..not just Knight. Traditions made fast twist 45s almost until they dropped the 45. MDM used a 1-20 too and White.
SML 45 guys use 1-22 or even as fast as 1-18 twist commonly shooting 200gr bullets over 2600fps. Mine is going to be a 1-22 but i want a 1-24 custom. I just dont want to pay the extra $150 to get it.
I think knights problem with the 1:20 is it just doesn't shoot a big variety of different bullet weights well.White wanted the 1:20 since it shot his favorite big lead conicals so darn well.just like the 1:24 does in the .50. he did his homework, the M/L world went the other direction lol.anyway i want a 1:30 !!!!!
