[QUOTE="partisan1911, post: 374592, member: 21115"] Thanks for the great post. I guess I really need to figure out which bullet weight I want to use. I can't have the best of both worlds. I will probably go with a 1-10 so I can shoot around 80 grain. It always confuses me as to what bullets a certain twist can shoot. Will a 1-10 allow me to shoot say an 80gr and everything heavier but definately not 75gr? Or will a 1-12 allow me to shoot 77gr and everything lighter? Or will say the 1-12 allow me to shoot 77gr down to 60 grain and the 55gr will not shoot at all. I see a certain bullet weight for a certain twist but is there a range of bullets that can be shot for each twist? I also read that barrel life is about 1500 rounds with a 243. This is the reason I wanted to stick with a regular 243. I figure if I have to fireform brass this will cut my barrel life down even more? I am not sure if I am correct in this thinking? I have visited the 6mmbr forum as well but I am still not 100% on these questions. [/QUOTE]
