Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting 243 and 1/9 twist?

Using 5000 feet altitude and 45 degree temperature with a 2920 fps mv, I ran the numbers in Ballistic Explorer. You should be okay given your altitude, but you could have stability problems in denser air at lower altitudes.



Checking the bullet database for shorter bullets I found that Berger's 105g Match Target BT (#24428), is shorter than the A-Max and the SMK bullets, has a bit lower G1 BC of 0.493, but gives you an SG of 1.6, which is comfortably stabilized.
