[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 763320, member: 307"] Shooters, I shoot a Win70 HVB in .243 and have never checked the twist of my barrel. It may be 1-10", I dunno. My rifle has shot everything I have tried in it great. The Hornady V-max's (65 & 87) it shoots to .4". These are devasting on groundhogs and crows but the lighter of these don't hold up great in the wind, IMO. I had a box of Winchester Western 85 gn Match HP's that I got from someone. They shot in to one hole with 44.5gn of IMR4831 and BR2's. Then I moved on to the 90 and 95gn Ballistic Tips and they held up a lot better, wind wise. I killed groundhogs in VA at 600yds with these. For this weight bullet I went to Vith N560 (43.5-44.0gn) with BR2's. Both of these powders shoot bullets in to the .2" range in my rifle, consistently. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
