1:48

Sounds like you are likely sharp enough to answer your own question, but I will digress for others. The 1:48 is a compromise twist rate claimed to be "fast" enough for heavy conical bullets at hunting velocity, yet "slow" enough for moderate patched roundball loads. I would agree that it seems totally out of place in a long rifle/flintlock from which most of us would shoot roundballs.

My limited experience with 1:48 in .50 caliber traditional T/C rifles is that it works as intended.
