I recently purchase a encore super 209-45 for the frame the barrel appears to be unfired. I was expecting 28 twist but I am coming up with closer to 20 ? Did tc offer this ? Any information about this would be appreciated

I have no clue what tc offered but the 1:20 is what you want in the 45.

Yes, they did offer the super 45 in a 1:20 twist. Many posts I read from the early 2000's reported accuracy problems with the fast twist barrel so TC started making the 45 in 1:28 twist and replacing fast twist barrels, under warranty, with the slower twist barrels. Does the barrel have TC's quick load accurizor (QLA) on the muzzle?

It does have the QLA the bore feels very consistent pushing a saboted bullet through it

That twist would shoot 300+ gr full-bore bullets well would be my guess.

Thinking smooth sized ww and Blackhorn around 300gr any thoughts? I think that would be a good combo. In my sml's I shoot exactly ww and 300gr xtp for plinking with under 1/2" @ 100yds the norm. |

Will QLA cause accuracy problems in this barrel I have a 209-50 I purchased 25 years ago and it has posed any accuracy problems just curious about 45?

I bought a used 45 several years ago for the frame but decided to shoot it. When I checked it was 1:20 twist. It shoots 240 fury with harvester sabots under 1 inch at about 2300fps with 84 grains BH209. If you don't want the barrel I would be interested.
