[QUOTE="Gunpoor, post: 625181, member: 8358"] My S-I-L shoots the 243win (used to be my rifle) with the 58 grain V-Max under H4895 and put them into .5" at 200 yds. I knew this rifle, M77 MkII all-weather, was laser accurate with 100 grain flat-base bullets but I had never shot any of the lighter ones. He first tried the 55 grain Nosler BT bullets but they just would not work. IMO, the only reason to need a faster twist than 1/10" if you are going to shoot 105> grain cup and core or the heavier/longer Barnes/monometal bullets. Most off the shelf 6mm rifles have a 1/10" twist barrel. My Model 600 Remington carbine 1/10" barrel pet load is with a 70 grain Nosler BT, but it is not as accurate as the old 243 Ruger, as it shoots these into 5/8" at 100 yds but I think that wil suffice for yotes though I have yet to shoot one with it.
