It seems that if a 1:60-70 is ideal for RB and the very fast twists are intended for big heavy conicals the 48" ought to be about right for short bullets.
If pushing pistol bullets to 1600-1800 fps would 45 Colt bullets hold up or should those intended for 454 Casull or 460 S&W be used?
How would these projectiles work in a .502 x .520" rifled barrel?
I've found several different projectiles that shot well from a 1-48" twist PA conicals, round ball, pistol bullets and heavier conicals like the great Plains or FPB's.
