[QUOTE="sniperjwt, post: 445364, member: 22262"] your not kidding about this being a great site you wont find one better:D anyway enough of that if i were you i would just stick with the 243 winchester. The AI does not (in my opinion) give you enough extra with the lighter bullets to make it worth having to fire form them and the brass is much easier to find than the 6mm stuff. You can get 4K FPS with the 55g Nosler bullet with a bc of .267 and sight it dead on at 200 and be less than an inch high at 100 and about 4-5" low at 300 so pretty much hold dead on inside of 300 and your optimal game weight is still 101 lbs at 300 but dies off very quickly after that. I would however not use a ballistic tip on deer going that fast cause you will just cause a flesh wound however for paper or groundhogs and such it will do great. As far as twist the 12 would work great for the 55g bullets but if you ever decide to go heavier you might have trouble. I would go with a 10 just in case one day down the road you want to shoot a 80 or 90g bullet for deer Hope some of this helps [/QUOTE]
