What twist rate is the remington manufactured 336W's barrel?.....it appears to be a 12 groove barrel but the twist rate seems to be tighter than the 1:12 that the new marlin site says their new 6 groove barrels are.
reason I ask is I'm putting a over-barrel suppressor my 336 (and the half length mag to allow it to work) and I'm looking at the possibilty of using a 215gr lead cast HP boolit for bush hunting......a 1:12 barrel will be marginal for a bullet of that length and velocity but a 1:10 twist would be perfect.....seeing as most of my shots are sub 75 meters a suppressor seems like a good idea....plus it will allow me to hunt a number of places that while fully legal to hunt have in the past resulted in police being called when townies with the holiday homes hear gunshots in the same postcode.
