[QUOTE="GMB54, post: 5438142, member: 15365"] I can only assume you never saw the original load data from Knight and all the other "Super 45" offerings from other vendors. It was a 155gr 40cal bullet in a sabot with 3 pellets......yep that was the recommended load claimed to duplicate 7mm-08 velocity. There is nothing special about that twist its been used for ages and its still offered today by Knight in 2 models. The Mountaineer and the Ultra Lite. Traditions is now offering a 1-20 and CVA has a 1-22. Plus both offer faster than 1-28 50cals. Saying they are "designed for sabots" is total nonsense. Many recent Inline Hunter events at Friendship have been won with 45 1-20 and not a single one was won with a sabot. All have been either sabotless jacketed or conicals. Its been ages since anything from White rifle has even been in the top 5. :rolleyes: You can buy a Mountaineer 45 1-20 right now and they have placed or won numerous times. [/QUOTE]
