I know TC made the early Black Diamond 45 in 1-20" but then changed to 1-28" after customer complaints. Out of all the TC Muzzleloaders I have used the Omega remains my favorite.

This I don't understand, The 1/20 is a much better twist for shooting bullets. I have 2 of the 700ML with hunter kits at 1/28 and 2 other rifles at 1/20. The 1/28 is OK with bullets up to 225 grains but they cannot stabilize the heavier bullets. The 1/20 in 45 cal handles bullets up to 275. My opinion, others will vary. W

Articles like that are probably why the 1:20 fell out of favor with manufacturers.
