[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 5662, member: 34"] 6.5 The standard 243 is normally a 10 twist and will work with bullets up to around 85 to 87 Gr Match type. I didn't know if your rifle had a different stock and barrel on it other then the factory. When you said 14 or 15lb I couldn't think of a factory varmint style rifle that weighed that much without some additional weight added. Even a Remington 40X only weighs 13 1/2 Lbs and it has a 27 inch barrel. I have a 243 that has never been fired in a match yet. It has an 8 twist 30 " long barrel and I have it loaded and ready if you would want to shoot it. I have shot it at 1000 yards but never in a match. It has less then 75 rounds through it. Your welcome to shoot it. The problem could exist that, I have to go out of State Wednesday and depending on some things, I may miss the next match. It would be the third match I have missed in 16 years. You best have another rifle ready in case that happens. Later DC [/QUOTE]
