[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1655909, member: 93846"] If the major rifle manufacturers offered the 243 Win. in a 1 in 8" twist or even better, a 1 in 7" twist, the 6mm Creedmoor might not have even been developed. I have multiple 243 Wins, one with a 1 in 10" twist and two with 1 in 9" twist. All three shoot exceptional well but, none of them shoot any bullets heavier than 100gr worth a flip. I HAD a Ruger American Predator in 6mm Creedmoor that shoots factory Hornady 108gr ELD Match like it's going out of style! 200 yard, 5 round groups, well under an inch are the norm. My wife tried it out at the range a few months ago. She put a whole box of twenty in the 1" bullseye at 100 yards. Take a wild guess what she's hunting with this coming season! Now I just have to go buy one for myself! :eek: [/QUOTE]
