I have decided to go for a .243 Winchester again as it has all the performance I need and I have hunted lots of game with the caliber, have lots in convidence with its killing power on smaller game plus I can load 105gr bullets with good BC's and be able to shoot out to 600m+ with ease.

The reason for the 9 in 1" twist is that I want to shoot 105gr bullets for paper but still be able to shoot the 80gr TTSX bullets that I use for hunting. I like to compete in the Pro Amm competition here in South Africa that is shot with factory ammo ( 100gr for .243 Win) and I also compete is field shooting events.
