Barrel twist on a 50-90 Remington Rolling Block. (Read 50 times)

	I have the No5 action with a 54 caliber Green Mountain barrel. I'm going to send it off to be lined and chambered for 50-90. I have no desire to shoot this monster in competition, I plan on hunting/plinking with it. I have 2 molds; a 450gr and 500gr. and see no need for heavier competition boolits. That being said, what twist should I want in the liner? I'm having the barrel cut to 28", Beach front and rear sights. Thoughts please?

	Caliber 0.512 Inches Bullet Weight 450 Grains Bullet Length 0.8066 Inches Barrel Twist 28 Inches/turn muzzle velocity 1200 fps Temperature 50 degrees Fahrenheit (59 is standard) Pressure 29.92 inches of mercury (29.92 is standard) Sg = 4.54 Caliber 0.512 Inches Bullet Weight 450 Grains Bullet Length 0.8066 Inches Barrel Twist 30 Inches/turn muzzle velocity 1200 fps Temperature 50 degrees Fahrenheit (59 is standard) Pressure 29.92 inches of mercury (29.92 is standard) Sg = 3.96 Caliber 0.512 Inches Bullet Weight 450 Grains Bullet Length 0.8066 Inches Barrel Twist 40 Inches/turn muzzle velocity 1200 fps Temperature 50 degrees Fahrenheit (59 is standard) Pressure 29.92 inches of mercury (29.92 is standard) Sg = 2.23 Sg shouldn't be less than 1.4. If Sg is greater than about 2.0, you may gain some accuracy by going to a slower twist barrel.
