C. Sharps Big Fifty?

For those who have one of these rifles, how does the 1X26 inch twist stabilize bullets in the 500 to 550 grain range. My 50 70 Shiloh military rifle 1X36 twist is working very well with bullets in the 450 to 500 grain range. I see that those with a 50 90 Shiloh in 1X22 twist are having best results using 600 + grain bullets and was just wondering how a 1X26 twist would work for lighter bullets. I was looking at the Accurate 51-550 bullet as a slightly heavier clone to the 51-465S I use in the 50 70. I am thinking about adding one to my battery.
