[QUOTE="matt_3479, post: 1641548, member: 23070"] My old remington 243 is a 9.25 twist and wouldn’t stabilize the 105’s +. It didn’t even shoot the 100’s as well as the 80-90gr of bullets. Personally if your looking for a new rifle, in the rpr they sell a 6mm creed with a 1:7.7 twist if recall and that would stabilize anything you want to shoot pretty much. Not to mention the shorter cases longer neck will be more friendly when the heavies are in mind. I don’t believe ruger sells the 243 any more due to the 6mm creed in the line up. But in the first gen I’m pretty sure the 243 had a 1:7.7 or 1:8 twist if you would rather the 243 [/QUOTE]
