That is the very thing i was dealing with in my mind... the existing image. After shooting that image is completly reversed.

bringing the 1:20 back isn't a sound business move IMHO.
And that is the biggest problem facing a business today - the image - or really what will the public buy into.

Unless we (the shooters with a 1-20 twist gun) can show the image to be incorrect - it might be risky. Even if on a forum like this a few of us can show the it was a bad rap what reall good will that do for the majority of the ML shooters that have a bad image. We are so few and so many never even come here to see what might be happening.

the 1:24 makes a lot more sense if Knight wants to move away from the 1:30.the 1:28 & 1:30 .45 cal rifles shoot about every bullet offering on the market well,with very few exceptions.a lot of folks are having great success shooting 45 cal PT golds,SST and Barnes bullets naked in the .250 gr weight class out of the 1;28 & 1:30. it's more about lack of heavier .40 cal bullets,than the twist IMHO.
From a business standpoint you might be right - but at this moment from a shooters perspective - i would say bring on the 1-20.

I do not know how Doc White developed his twist rates that were not following the norm - but if his 45 were 1-20 and his 50's are 1-24 - they certainly work. But as Cayugad has said there is more to it than just twist rate. Depth of the lands and grooves fall in there also.

Right now after my limited experiance - I would vote for a 1-20, not for what it will do inside a 100 yards but for what it can do outside of the 100 yard make in maintaining bullet stability.
