I've got a Win M 70 Coyote with a 1 in 9 twist bbl. I loaded up a bunch of Sierra Blitz 50 grainers that shot great at sea level, but when I got out shooting squirrels at a higher elevation they came apart. I figured it could have been the fact that the bbl was fouled from the 400-500 40gr Vmaxes I'd already shot or it was the elevation. Never even thought about it being a hot bbl. It was kinda neat watching them come apart but it kinda sucked having a bunch of rounds I couldn't shoot. I was lucky and traded about 1300 of em straight across for 40 gr Vmaxes to a nice fella on the fire!
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!
Ecc 10:2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but that of a fool to the 24HCF.

1:7 twist with Tikka T3.
Magazine length is also a standard length rather than shortened, can load 80gr to mag length and have a repeater.
Several models, sporter, varmint, tactical.
Can even single-load 90gr if they will group for you. Often need a 6.5 twist for those.

You might be able to find a 1/8 before a 1/7...
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...
