True, but then it can't be used for ML season. Might as well buy a Sharps.

I am 99% sure that it is a 1-30. And as the reason given above it is a proven twist capable of shooting 90% of the bullets on the market today very accuratetly. The obvious exceptions are the longest non--lead copper bullets, the newer very long .357 bullets, and long full bore lead conicals.

I believe/think when the math guys did the calculations for 45 twist, using the commonly available bullets it computed to be 1-32 as the idea rate, so Knight has made it a bit faster.

But for some the 1-20 would be great twist.

You can also use bp and bp subs in it if the state your in doesn't allow smokeless powder during muzzleloader season.

Correct,if your State does not allow the use of smokeless powder during it's M/L season, simply load it with a legal BP sub powder and your good to go.

If you click where it says .50 cal., it will drop down and say .50, .52 and .45 cal..

Tell us what it says the .45 twist is.

yes it states those calibers, but only the twist rate for the 50 & 52 cal.no mention of the .45 cal twist rate

50 1:28 - 52 1:26 - 45 Unknown

The 45caliber Mountaineer is 100% 1/30 twist.

Why don't they put that in the specs?
