Anyway, Good Luck in convincing them, I would like to see them produce this rifle as well.
I'm not actually convinced myself. When the 1/20 twist Knight first came out it failed drastically. My opinion is because of the weaker formulation of sabots. Now i think both MMP and Harvester have made great strides in making sabots better in all twists. Now we will see how well they do with a wide variety of bullets in the 1/20 twist at a wide variety of velocities as well. Lehigh, Barnes, Hornady to name a few need to shoot well to proceed i think.
In my opinion only, and no testing to back it up. I would think a 1/24 twist might just be the cats meow in a 45cal ML. Time will tell that's for sure.
