I have a question about rifling twist rates in BP muzzleloaders. I'm considering buying a muzzleloader. One I'm considering is a Hawken model in .54 caliber and has a rifling twist rate of 1 in 48".
Can anyone tell me if this twist rate can reliably stablize conical bullets?
I'm not interested in shooting sabot or sub-caliber loads and my choice of propellents are the BP substitutes since getting BP shipped out here is going to cost more than 5 times the price of the powder itself.
