[QUOTE="Prairie605, post: 1150056, member: 93833"] Hey everyone, new member here. Got a question and maybe someone can give me some suggestions. I recently aquired a rem 700 in 243 win. Serial number indicates it was built in 1974. I am wanting to re-barrel it with a Bartlein 5r in about a 2b or #3 contour barrel. My plan is to build a hunting rifle for my boys to use in a few years and for me to use on antelope and mountain lion. I want to chamber for the 243 ackley for the added case capacity and case life benefits, and just to have something different. My frustration is I can't seem to figure out what twist to go with. One site says one thing and another says something different. I will be shooting the 85-100 grain hunting bullets like the nosler partions and hornady sst. Most say go with the 10 twist for that bullet weight, but there lots of 8 twists available for immediate shipment. my question is will the 8 twist shoot these type of hunting bullets without any negative affects on accuracy? It seems the 8 twist is really designed for the heavy vld target loads. [/QUOTE]
