Anyone have tales to tell about shooting smaller than forty bore fast twist rifles?

Reckon the TC Cherokees mite qualify though in .32 caliber the 30" twist really wasn't all that fast.
 
Interesting concept, 1 in 30 might be viewed as a slower twist relative to caliber in a .32.
But I think it would still act the same as in a large caliber. Looking forward to any trials and reports from people who've worked with it.
 
I do know, William Moore made a 30cal 1:20 twist (2-groove) in the mid-1800’s.
