Twist rate…

Just curious, and I know little of these things, but would the .45/70 twist rate work properly for a lighter ‘express’ bullet? It seems I remember reading that the .45-90 was considered somewhat of an ‘American express’ rifle generally having more powder and less lead for a flatter shooting deal and that the -90 had a different twist rate than the .45-70. I don’t know if that would be an issue with your idea.
