If it doesn't matter to someone, they won't get an argument from me. But for the reasons I'd choose a .243 over something else, being able to use heavier bullets would send me in the direction of a 700.


My other 243s ( Winchester Model 70s) have a one in ten twist, and they have zero issues stabilizing a 105 grain Hornady BTHP, or the old Speer 105 SP...( a bullet I miss a lot)....

I prefer the BTHP over the A Max, anyway since it is a non issue...people ought to try a bullet in their rifle, instead of just listening to what people on the internet say what it won't or will do...
