I think we all know the 1/24 does the best overall job of providing stabilization to longer bullets.

You mention the 1/20 twist and I am not so sure that might not be to fast for a long lead conical. The general rule is that if you under-stabilize a projectile accuracy goes to pot... and theoretically there is no such thing as over-stablization - but I think there really is... and that is part 2

2. bullet consruction can really effect stabilization. If shot from a twist to fast the bullet is set to spin so fast that imperfections in the bullets contruction will be magnified and 'wobble' induced by the spin will appear.... causing a loss of accuracy

Just running off - so if your thoughts differ - go fer it... I certainly do not know it all like another on this site...
Mike i think somewhere we got wires crossed lol..45 cal 1;20's shoot big lead .460/.488 real well long conicals lol. .45 cal 1:30 shoot mid weight conicals 300-400 even 350's real well. where does that leave the .45 cal 1:28..and what is you opinion on the 1:28 and conicals.. sorry for confusion.. after shooting the wolverine .50 cal today with .460 NE, i know the 1:28 can do well with a good fitting conical in 1:28.
