[QUOTE="RBetts, post: 350179, member: 22077"] My 243 will stabilize 105 a-max's with a 10 twist. I mostly shoot the 70-85gn bullets though it though. This is a great round for paper and hunting. Low recoil, great bullets, and enough pop to flatten animals to 500#. I saw a bear that weighed 328# shut off with this cartridge. The damage was incredible. The shot was just under 250yds. The 223 cheap to shoot no recoil but very limited for game use. Some states won't allow below a 243 bullet for big game. 7mm any 7mm best in the wind but the price of admission is high for punching paper. In the field adrenaline will fix most flinches, but on a bench, shooting prone at paper can develope a flinch. Recoil is cumulative in nature. Your subconscious will try to defend itself at some point causing a flinch. [/QUOTE]
