[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 191386, member: 8843"] Mike you can shoot the 55gr Nosler ballistic tips out of a 243 Ackley with a 1-8 faster than the bullets can stand , mine I could get right to 4000fps before they would blow up , I had better accuracy with the 75gr V-max at the 3700-3800 fps range than the 55gr bullets though. I think that the 1-8 is the best twist for that case as it allows you to use about every bullet out their. As for the barrels I'd get the longest barrel you can , if you get a heavier barrel with the long 4"-5" shank that will allow you to cut a couple inches off the rear end and rechamber after the throat gets worn.
