300wm factory rifles

[Creekrat]

I tried searching and am not having a lot of luck so figured I'd ask here. Arte there any factory rifles in 300wm that someone can get in a 1:9 twist? Looking at options for mountain rifles and have the 300wm narrowed down as the cartridge of choice and would like to find a good option to be able to load up the heavier bullets if I got a wild hair to do so.

Not within the ranks of standard factory rifles (Remington, Winchester, Ruger, etc.). All are 1:10 or 1:11/1:12 (European makes Tikka, Sako, Sauer).

Savage makes a couple of models with 1:9.25" twist rates.

You might find something in the Christensen or Fierce stables, but I don't recall ever seeing one in their catalogs.

Which bullet couldn't you shoot with a 1:10? That should work all the way up to the Berger 230gr offerings. I guess it might not work with the 245.

Just curious. It's not like one could over stabilize a projectile

 

[mt100gr.]

The berger 215 and the 210ish-212ish Hornady bullets are 300winmag bread and butter. They do fine in 1:10.
