Looking for info on a 243 270 Win. imp for long range hunting for deer and antelope with the 115 Berger and 117 Matrix bullet. Also the best rifling twist and optic and rect. for same.
Do you use a 20 MOA for long range on your scopes?
About the twist, it is a fairly big investment for a barrel and I would like to hit it on the head the first time if possible. The loading programs I have list a twist of 7.5" and 8.3" for 115 grain bullets.
Thanks for the optic info. Being an more mature person now my eyes aren't what they used to be and I agree with the extra mag. on the top end. Do you use a 20 MOA for long range on your scopes?

Does anyone know how critical twist is for accuracy if it is only .5" diff.?
Thanks for all your advise. It is snowing here tonight and will give me time to ponder the 243-264s' ideas again. I might be back at the drawing board again. I am narrowing in on the optics thou.
When I do zero in on a cartridge does anyone have any leads for a gunsmith near my north AZ location that can do the barreling and drill and tap the scope mount holes in the receiver?
