I will be re-barreling something to 25-35 in the near future. I have a 1899 savage that was a basket case when I received it or a 94 Win. that is now a 25-35 but the barrel is quite worn. It shoots Rem 86 gr, or 100 gr. pointed fed 1 by 1, but will not shoot Horn 117 gr. The question is the twist. As I understand some Win, 94s were 9 twist and possibly some were slower. But since the bullet speed will be slower than a 250 Sav. or 25-06 the twist needs to be faster. I would even consider an 8 twist as I doubt you would over stabilize it.
What experience have others had?
