I instead went the 6-06 route, with an 8 twist. I had a plethora of 25-06 brass on hand, so it was hard to justify the 240. Anyway, couldn't be happier with the 6-06. 105 VLD's at 3300 are phenomenal.

I have a 1:10 .243 that groups 100NP tightly for three shots. Never tried five because I figure two is about max for hunting. I have not had bullet issues with them.

I have not had bullet issues with them. Best wishes, Jack Pat (Scenarshooter) sent me some 105 Scenars to try. No matter how hard I pushed them, the 10 twist would not stabilize them. And, if you check the link on making .240 cases from 25-06 brass, you see what a job it is. That's why my next .240 will be a 6mm-06. Same performance, in fact a hair more case capacity. And no swaging a belt by squeezing down the whole case body (that takes some muscle), much easier case forming. I don't see the .240 with ANY advantages over the 6mm-06, unless one isn't a reloader, depending on factory ammo. Of course, that's NOT me... Speed helps but is weak compared to twist. Or said another way, there's no substitute for twist when twist is needed, speed notwithstanding... IMHO, DF

So, for that bullet, 10 twist is perfect. I would like more options with heavier bullets, thus my statements on a faster twist. DF
