[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 192333, member: 8843"] those are basic twistrates for guys that don't reload and shoot factory ammo ,I don't know of any ammo factroy loaded for the 243 or 6mm that woulden't stabilize in the 1-10 twist but us longer range guys use longer bullets and they like the faster twist. The 223 on the other hand has alot of factory offering that call for at least a 1-9 twist. I posted the thread on the Encore Pro hunters having poor triggers and I have done 2 more since then and both were the same and the rest though the weight of pull was a bit lighter the quality of the trigger was still poor , a new spring some stoning and about a hr of your time and you can have a realy nice trigger or at least alot better. If your wanting a hot 6mm cal you could get the 243 and have it rechambered to 6mmAckley improved that would give you a good bit more speed and it might shoot the 105 class bullets though I woulden't bet on it. But out of a 28" barrel I think the 6mmAckley could get you in the 3800fps range pretty easy with the 75gr bullets if your looking for a good varmint gun. [/QUOTE]
