I would like to come up with a load for a 1894 winchester that has a 4 grove 16" 1-10 twist barrel in 30-30. I think it is a turned down M1903 barrel, but I am not sure. I was thinking that with the slower twist as compared to the standard 1894 30-30 twist of 1-12, a heavier bullet might be better? I would like to use it for a lever action sillouette match which I beleive goes out 150 yards. Any thoughts or opinions? Thank you!

Any bullet well work with the 1in 10 all my 308 cal rifles are 1in10 125s to 220s work just fine.

I use 150 gr bullets in my 30-30

1-10 is faster than 1-12! roger

ooops! duh thank you..

Someone is telling me that a 1/10 twist in a 94 .30-30 Winchester RIFLE is not an oddball. Allegedly the one he sold me has the same barrel except that it is 20" long.

I am not a very good shooter with open sights, but--using R-P brass, FC primers,Sierra 125 gr SN bullets and H322 or other similar powders, I can hit the 200 yard gong mnore often than not, shooting not off hand but seated at a bench with no sand bags--a fact that surprised the H out of me.................
