Look at the part number DL means its an Elite. All Elite 45s are a 1-30 unless there are some super rare prototypes
The first 6 means blue The middle 5 means 45cal The last 6 means 26" barrel C is for composite stock And HEAD is correct, the MK85s has about the best trigger you will ever see on a ML. Factory set at a crisp 2.5lbs and its a TRUE Timney. That is the same guy i bought my Original 45 SS from and it was NIB with everything. |

No what ruined the 1-20 was hyping a 155gr bullet at 2500fps in the 1-20. A fast twist is just fine with 180gr and up. 200gr+ bullets shoot really sweet with that twist. Plus 45cal sabots are much better now. Numerous compaines jumped on that wagon..not just Knight. Traditions made fast twist 45s almost until they dropped the 45. MDM used a 1-20 too and White.
SML 45 guys use 1-22 or even as fast as 1-18 twist commonly shooting 200gr bullets over 2600fps. Mine is going to be a 1-22 but i want a 1-24 custom. I just dont want to pay the extra $150 to get it. |
I have one of the old school 45 cal super disc 1-20 twist and love it # 0532 put lehigh breech plug in it and newer bolt I shot lehigh 40 cal 200gr doa bullet and shots good haveat shot a deer with bullet yet

Yep they are one of the best Lehigh 200gr shooters. My Elite 1-30 prefers the 185gr DOA but the 200gr isn't terrible. It shoots a regular 40-200gr lead/copper fine. Ive shot upto a 260gr in a sabot within hunting group standards. The Lehigh 200gr is long. Another thing a 1-20 can shoot with some load work is a 180gr-200 .35x bullet in a PR 45x357 orange sabot.
