I had one, sold it last year. The Super name just means the rifle will handle 150 grains of powder, either 3 pellets or 120 grains of loose powder (150 gr. equivilent) for a maximum load.  You shouldn't need that much powder in the .45 cal.  I didn't want to go the sabot route with .40 cal. bullets and the barrel wouldn't shoot conicals with any accuracy, so I sold it. Mine had the 1:20 twist.  Good luck with yours! ;)

toytruck is right, I had one also and I never shot over 90 gr. of loose triple 7 in it.
