Don't change the channel, yet. as I am staying with the .243 class. I went with a 6mm Creedmoor, not the 6.5 creedmoor.

About to convert a 26" howa creedmoor into a 243improved 30°,specifically to shoot the 225gn oops,the 115gn Bergers.
Berger's site says I'll need 3100fps to properly stabilize them from the 7.5twist barrel.
Am I going to be able to get that speed OK ?
Thanks, Mal

How long is that Berger .243 225 Gr Bullet? What is the BC?
Also, why 30 degrees?

It would need fins to stabilize and then I guess we could call it a lawn dart.

Gotta be a typo. Probably meant 115.

Maybe, but your barrel might not like the powder required to get the velocity. If you havent ordered a barrel yet just grab a 7 twist

Sorry, 115gn pill
Stuck with the factory 7.5 twist barrel
I went 30° as its a hunting rifle and I wanted 100% feeding

Gotcha, thought you were talking rebarrel.
Well if the 115s won't shoot theres plenty of options that will stabilize from 105-110
Bergers 109 looks Interesting and only needs a 1:8

I think those 109s are a target bullet ?
Hopefully I can get 3100 out of the 115s. People seem to get nearly 3000 pushing them with the creed.

Go with the standard 40 degree, it'll feed just fine and reamers/dies are much easier to find.
