Guess I'm bored and looking for a project, as I'm wondering how these will shoot out of a Remington 1-9.25 twist barrel, which I have a couple of rifles with them, or do you need a faster twist. Also, what about primers and powder? As I said, boredom has set in, and I need to something to do.

Not so sure about the 1:9.25 twist in the 243. Give them a try but according to hornady 1:8 is min. Last edited by Remington280; 08/15/23. HMM-161, HMM-364 Semper Fi Brothers
