I am a bit confused about my new rifle. Tikka website shows all lite stainless models with a 1:11” twist rate. When I do a search on the the model number: JRTXB331R10 most show a twist rate of 1:10”. The barrel shows:
Cal. 300 Win. Mag. 10”

I have always gone by the barrel markings. Some list twist, some don’t. Hopefully the 180gr will get enough twist to be accurate out of a 24” barrel as that is the only ammo I could find. I am not familiar with the 300 win mag loads.Tikka switched to 10 twists in their 30 cals this year. The descriptions and SKUs might not be up to date. Go by what is inscribed on your barrel.
This is odd, because Tikka changed their web site to show a 1:10 twist for their stainless 300 WM. Used to be 1:11. Some of their other 300 WM models are still listed as 1:11.Hate to dash someone’s hopes, but see this thread. I think the 1:10 came from a typo on someone’s website because Tilka/Beretta said no when asked. Like other have said, the length of Tikka actions and magazines would limit the use of longer bullets in long magnums anyway.
