Hornady shows the BC of your bullet as .376. Berger's 87 gr. VLD is .412 and a 10 twist is suggested. If this bullet shoots well in your gun, it should give you the best ballistics you can get with this barrel.

The 85gr interbond is .395.
87gr Vmax .400.
90gr Swift Scirocco II .419
Lots of good choices in his weight range.

Yes. Further discussion is unwarranted.

You can lead the mule to the creek and tell it to drink, but it may decide not to. If it won't drink then it will get thirsty in the afternoon while plowing but that is just tough.

My .243 is not an AI. It's just a standard .243 win. I'm getting 3130 out of the 105 amax. At about 1500 yds it goes subsonic on me. I figure my consistancy will go to crap after that. Even so, I think we'll try it!!
