Moss,
I am making tattered one-holes at 50-75 yards. My Ballistics are pretty outstanding considering what we have to work with.
They take alot of TLC to get them to that point.
On paper, I can out-do a .45-70 in so far as the numbers go. I have chrono tests over 2000 fps and I think I can still do better.
The problem with most slugs is when they go sub-sonic. Thats when the laws of physics really start to play hell with a slug.
In the meantime, I'll keep "slugging" on and see what I can do.
The rate of twist? depends on what I am planning to shoot out of it . Its usually 1 in 24, 25 or 25 1/2.

Cy
