As do 250 gr Hornadys and 250 gr Woodleighs. And 250 gr Winchesters, which my friend in Colorado who introduced me to his .35 Whelen in 1992 used almost exclusively. His is a Remington 700 with the dreaded 1-16 twist as well.

Were I ordering a barrel from Pac-Nor I would definitely go tighter, likely 1-14. But after 16 years and a fair amount of shooting stuff with it, I have zero complaints about my 700 and its 1-16 twist.
