[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 462125, member: 307"] I have tried a good number of the lighter bullets in my .243 Win. From 65gn on up to 95gn and have found that for the longer shots (500yds +) the 90 and 95gn pills don't drift quiet as bad. The 65 and 70 gn range perform well but there just seemed to be a lot more unexplained misses as the ranges increased. While some of those might have been the "nut behind the trigger", some definately were not and could be attirbuted to slight winds that don't seem to affect the heavier pills. My rifle twist is not as fast and yours and if I could stabilize the 105/107gn range that's what I would shoot. The .243Win is a great varmint cartridge but my next will be the AI variant (with 8 twist) because of case stretch. Good shooting. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
