[QUOTE="SAVAGE22-243AI, post: 828473, member: 25124"] I shoot a Savage custom 22-250 A.I. with a 1-14 twist and use it for my 400 yd rifle with 40 gr. V-Max bullets screaming out at 4350 fps. 714 yd longest PD kill, 315 yds longest deer kill. For long range I use a custom Savage 22-243 A.I. with 1-9 twist for 75 gr. A-Max bullet at 3600-3700 fps depending on powder. 1580 yd longest PD kill Now my new Savage Palma in .243 A.I. will shoot 87-105 gr bullets for the longer shots and my Savage F/Class 6.5x284 does the lonest shots. When you get down to the 1-8 or 1-7 twist barrels your Velocity drops off a lot and the time in flight is too long IMAO. You could get a take off Rem barrel in .243 for your rifle now and but the Savage LRPV 22-250 in 1-9 twist and solve all the problems. Really add it up! Your Remington rifle + new barrel $400.00 + gunsmith work $300-$550.00 or your rifle +$75.00 for takeoff 243 barrel + $600-700.00 for slightly used Savage LRPV in 22-250.............think about it. ( you can replace the Savage with any brand you want)gun) [/QUOTE]
