In the past I rebarreled a .243 model 10 with a 1:12 McGowen, to be very disappointed (the guy who took my order said "you will be surprised what it does at 300 yards" well I wasn't). I really don't want that to happen again. I just picked up a model 110 and want to rebarrel it.
I noticed that most aftermarket manufactures only make nothing faster than 1:10 with the exception of PAC-NOR....I'm sure there's more, but I haven't looked. The heaviest bullet for 25 cal. is 120, but I'm looking to use a 85 -90 grain for varmints. I already have a .270 winchester for deer and black bear.
Can I get some feedback as to whether or not a 1:10 will be the best choice to stabilize these bullets for the utmost accuracy. I read reviews on Midwayusa about Nosler BT 85 grain.... here's what one guy said...
"These work excellent in my 25.06. In fact, they are so accurate, they're boring. I've punched more than my share of one hole groups with my Savage & handloads.
A little IMR 4350 & these, you too can have a boring rifle"....
Help me out.... what twist do you think he's using?
