Well in testing the 1:20 twist I have only tried 90 and 100 gr of Blackhorn and both shot good groups. Someone else has been trying the 1:20 with 120,130, and 140 gr of powder. All shot great groups. Hence the question. Could a fast twist be less finicky about powder?
Certainly looks like a possibility but only time will tell.
Just a thought.
I don't think there is much difference in what powder charges a 1:28 does well with compared with a 1:20.i think the problem with the 1:20 is poor bullet variety choices.IMHO A 1:24 twist .45 cal may be the best option as far as twist rate, with more bullets to choose from.
time will tell and i hope Knight tests my theory out by introducing a 1:24 .45 cal
