Most competitors shooting the 6mm 105gr class of bullets are going with an 8" twist. The .243 might get away with 9" but depending on the barrel could be on the edge. 8" works, no-brainer.


I had the 105 HPBT shoot like a champ here at 5000'... then shoot horribly at 500' out of a 1-10" twist Tikka .243....

1-9.125" Factory Remingtons have always shot them well IME.


You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......
