I've got a Winchester model 70 in 243 that I believe is in need of a barrel. I’m thinking along the lines of 24 inch 8 twist ? My questions are , is it worth going to a 26 in. barrel and what grain bullets would the 8 twist do best with ? I hunt with this particular gun quite a bit , shooting Sierra 70 grain match bullets on coyotes and I run an 80 grain Barnes TTSX on antelope and occasional deer. I like the idea of loading some 105 gr. Bergers which should work well in an 8 twist barrel , but what about my 70 grain coyote loads ? Any advice from someone experienced with this type of change would be appreciated ! Thanks
