I want to order a Woodman Patriot 45 cal. I’ve read various posts here and unsure on what barrel twist to get between 1-18, 1-24 and 1-20 (+$300). Use will be general hunting in Vermont with BH209 and scoped, smokeless is not legal here during our muzzleloader seasons but is legal in another state that I hunt.
What would the best twist rate be for both powders? I think I read that 1-18 would be good all around. Would the high pressure adjustable breech plug be needed for smokeless? Thoughts?
After all that, I was at our local sportsman show last month. Hal Blood was there along with other Big Woods Bucks members. They had two Woodman Patriots there for a raffle, one 45 cal and one 50 cal. Winner gets both and I bought 2 tickets. Both guns come in a custom wooden box. No one was allowed to handle the rifles. Drawing is April 4th.
