Default 1 in 48" twist

Hey guys,

Just picked up a new muzzy, a CVA frontier sidelock with a 1 in 48" twist. This is my 4th muzzy, but all the others are inlines with 1-28" or 1-30" twists. I was just wondering what type of projectiles and powder charges you all have had success with in the 1-48" twist. Other than roundballs, that is- I know PRB's will shoot good in this twist, but I don't plan on using PRB's for hunting- would prefer a conical or saboted round. Any replies are appreciated.

Oh, by the way, I plan on using T7 3f for powder- any of you have issues with that in a sidelock? I could switch powder, but since I have quite a bit of T7 stocked up, I would prefer to stay with it. I also have a large supply of 240 grain TC cheap shots which I thought might do well with this twist (being shorter), and also 250 grain Deep Curls. I'm open to trying conicals though, as well.
