[QUOTE="Aussie, post: 84894, member: 2447"] Ol'Mike , I have a 9 inch twist in mine and it will stabilise the 95 gn Berger . Trouble is that this pill doesn't like to be driven at the velocities a .243 AI is capable of . Accuracy has been very ordinary in my rifle at 3200 - 3300 with a variety of powders and seating depths . Apparently it is ok at 3150 or less but that doesn't interest me . I would go with an 8" twist if doing it again as this would give me the flexibility to shoot 105 to 107 gn projectiles . Most seem to think the 107 Sierra is the best 6mm VLD . My 9 twist also shoots the 55gn Nosler very well so wouldn't be too worried about accuracy with light pills and fast twist . Fiftydriver reported similar things with an 8" 6mm/'06 from memory . Be aware that VLD's are generally too long to fit into magazines of short Rem. 700's if that's what you are using . [/QUOTE]
