Sabotloader i actually wanted a 1-24 but after a long search i couldn't find one. I got the 1-22 to tinker with for a great price. Mainly for smokeless and 2600fps+ with common bullets. Its a VERY common 458 barrel twist that has 8 lands and grooves so that is why it became popular. Plus it handled many sabotless applications well.

IMO 1-24 has proven itself in a 50cal so it should do as well in the 45s with current bullets. I would love to see PR make their Dead Centers and QTs plated instead of just soft lead. Bullets upto 40-260 should be really nasty if you want a long range 45. Those actually fit current sabots so that helps. Its also the 50x40 PR recommends for a 1-24 50cal.

I would also bet a 1-24 will still sling big lead pretty well for those that prefer that option. Maybe not as heavy as a White but heavy enough.
