[QUOTE="LWolken, post: 104208, member: 3194"] Go with a 1-9" twist. Why would you want to limit yourself to the 75 grain bullets? I just cannot convince myself to load anything other than the vld's or the really light 55-60 gr bullets. The 55's will do well out to 400yds but then you really need the VLD's to fight the wind. What am I missing here with the middle weight bullets? I have a 1-9 243AI and by the way the Lapua brass is the best no neck turn brass for any 6mm out there. So unless you already have dies for the 6mm then you should really consider the 243 AI especially if its a short action. I'd think the 55 ers at 4000+ out of a fast twist barrel would make a bigger splat than anything the mid weights have to offer. Lance [/QUOTE]
