243 rebarrel and twists
Posted: Wed Sep 10, 2014 4:59 pm
Time has come to rebarrel my trusty old 243. Still shoots decent, but looking down a clean bore, it looks like a haul road in a coal mine. I mean bad. Original barrel is 1-12 or 1-14, have to measure to be sure. Shoots like a laser with the 58 gr vmax. Anything over 80, not so much. Planning on 22-24 inch, what would you guys recommend for a twist to shoot heavier bullets, say even the 107(I think) bergers? Do I need to go 8 twist or wiould a 9 or 10 get me by. And would an 8 twist affect the lighter bullets? I've read hours worth of internet banter on it, and figured I'd ask the guys that rarely steer me wrong.
