It usually messes up some meat but that’s the first time I’d ever seen any thing like that and I’m guessing it’s because it was such a small deer.I would stop using a bullet that did that kind of damage to meat.
If that is true, which I hope, would it be possible to ream it to a 6CM some how?
Yes.What would be the benefit of reaming it to 6CM if it is already twisted fast? Factory ammo with high BC?
That’s interesting…I handled a couple of T3X Lites at Scheels in The Colony, TX just before Christmas in .243 that had no twist marked on the barrels.For those wondering if the 8" twist Tikka .243 is a typo, I handled one at Scheels yesterday. The T3x lite with 24" barrel was stamped for 8" twist.
The compact version had no stamp.
That's basically what I concluded as well.That’s interesting…I handled a couple of T3X Lites at Scheels in The Colony, TX just before Christmas in .243 that had no twist marked on the barrels.
So it appears the changeover is in progress and both old and new twists are still in the wild.
So unmarked is 10 twist and 8 twist is marked? I handled a compact model yesterday that was unmarked.That’s interesting…I handled a couple of T3X Lites at Scheels in The Colony, TX just before Christmas in .243 that had no twist marked on the barrels.

So what would you shoot out of a 8 twist barrel for hunting? Would it shoot 95gr bullets better? I don’t see .243 bullets heavier that 100gr where I look.
