Could someone help me find the twist rates for different manufactures ? They used to be listed but I cannot find them. Thanks

If you click on Modern Inlines just above this heading Tar12 has a whole list of twist rates etc.

That list states CVA Plainsman as being 1:48 twist.
My former 1992 CVA Plainsman has a 1:66 twist.
Really regret selling that gun 10 years ago.

The early CVAs (round ball shooters) were known for their accuracy. 60-72 seemed to work well with 45-54s and RBs. Then the T/C line of MLers went to 48 twist in most MLers so they could shoot both Maxi balls and round balls(neither very well). Though not asked, and the originator of this thread may understand this better than I ) , I'd rule out the middle range twist rates, and choose faster rates for conicals(20-32 , I prefer fast!) and slower ( 56-76) for round balls. The 48 and +/- a few inches does neither well. I realize the Hawkin original rifles were almost all 48" twist; however, they weren't very accurate either.
Just my unsolicited thoughts.

I was looking for the twist rate for a T/C hawkin in 45 caliber. 1-28 is wrong for the T/C Hawkens TC's typical ROT is 1-48. They did / do make a faster twist barrel for conicals and they did make a run of RB barreled Hawkens with 1-66 ROT. |

T/C are mostly 1-48 to facilitate rb and maxis. Round ball are prey accurate in this twist but 1-66-1-72 are way better.
