The Grand Alaskan was basically a 54 cal super 91 with a heavy barrel. I remember Doc talking about how accurate it was with 750 gr conical and 200 gr powder if you want a gun for African hunt .
I only remember hearing about the twist in the 54cal Bisons. Im pretty sure they were 1-28. The info page for the Grand Alaskan is blank.
Ive shot a few 580 Parkers in my 54-120. They are pretty rough in that rifle. Even the more common weights are a bit of a bruiser.
