[QUOTE="MAX, post: 7880, member: 184"] Perhaps of small import to this discusson, but I'd think the .22 will require a faster twist and this compounds Yaw of Repose issues. Between that and short barrel life for the CHeetah I'd go with the .243 and never look back. Truth is I'd probably opt for a 6.5 or larger still. LONG range requires precision and it's easier to find with larger bores. Faster ain't always bester. You asked for advice and got some good stuff from Darryl. Of course if you just really want a hotshot .22 I'd understand that without jumping thru all the rationalization part. There is always the Barnes QT approach if you want to make your own 125 gr. .224 bullets and use a 5" twist. I'm sure the BC is high, even if the velocity is mild...
