[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1964935, member: 77249"] Sitting here thinking back on 722 Rem. in 244 Rem. There was a gripe about the twist in the original 722 244 Rem. Check I think it has a 1-12 twist, Remington looked at the 244 as a varmit rifle. I believe the first Remington factory loads was 75 and 90 Gr bullets. The first 243 Win. had a 1-10 twist and original Win. factory loads were 80 and 100 gr. bullets. The 100 gr. loads in 243 win. met a lot of states min. caliber and bullet weight for deer and bigger game. Remington tried and reborn the 244 Rem. as the 6mm Rem. with a 1-9 twist and heavier bullets, But it never caught the 243 Win. as factory 6mm king. I believe, The 95 gr. SST bullet has a air pocket in the nose to allow for expansion, It may make it a little long and unstable it 244 rem. barrel twist. I have had problems with a couple mono bullets in my rifles because they exceeded the barrel twist. Good Luck in this adventure. [/QUOTE]
