[QUOTE="Goofycat, post: 352299, member: 6504"] Funny that nobody has mentioned the rate of twist required to stabilize 55 grainers vs. bullet weights that are far higher. Check your twist rate first to decide the best bullet weights. Remember that shorter bullets don't stabilize as well as longer (and thus heavier) bullets do. Unless I am wrong, short and fat may be where it's at for cases, but not for bullets. If I were shooting coyotes, I would opt for 80-grain bullets for a .243 (6mm), but only if the rifle had the correct twist rate and could properly accomodate that size bullet. I haven't bought the rifle yet, but this is what I would find out first.... [/QUOTE]
