[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 770262, member: 35183"] You should have no problem with getting 243 ammo. There are few AR type rifles shooting that cartridge.... I don't know at what altitude you will be shooting, but most 9 twist barrels will not stabilize 105gr Amax or 95gr+ VLD bullets (except maybe in summer). If you know the dimension of the bullets, go to the bergerbullets.com website and use their stability calculator to see what the stability looks like in your barrel. It would help if the posters above would list their barrel twist rate along with the other info. I just recently went to a 1:8 twist Shilen barrel because of the fact that the 1:9.25 twist of my Savage was limiting the weight of the bullets that I could shoot in winter conditions. [/QUOTE]
