Re: 105 A-Max .243 win 1-10 twist
I am using the 87grn. Vmax and the 87grn. bthp. now but I have not tried them at anything past about 300 yrds.
I loaded up the last of these bullets the other day and now I am getting ready to order more.
I have not shot this rifle in about 5 years and I thought I would see what it would do at long range..

you might try the berger 95 gr may work in a 1-10

Re: 105 A-Max .243 win 1-10 twist
I've found that anything over 90 gr, does not stabilize in my 243. the 87 V-Max I have had great success with all the way out to 1000 yds.
The rifle is a Howa 1500 1 in 10 twist

The 105gr A-max work great in my 1-10 twist .243. I have shot them to 600 yards so far. The best way to know if they will work for you is to load some and give them a try.

I have shot 100grn. spitzers (years ago) and from what I remember they worked ok in this rifle.
I may have to go ahead and try some.if nothing else it will give me an excuse to build something else to use them in..

You need to push that bullet very hot in order for it to stabilize the 105 AMAX. My 243 is a Remy stock with 1:9 1/8 " twist and I have to push it at least 3000 fps to get decent groupings. Just a thought.

I think you are dreaming with the 105 in a 10 twist to a 1000yds, I think even a 9 twist is border line. but good luck trying.

Re: 105 A-Max .243 win 1-10 twist
they will shoot in a 9 twist no problems, if someone thinks they are shooting in a 10 twist i think their barrel must be a diferent twist to what they are thinking it is. they will shoot in a 9.25 if driven hard but if i push thenm in an identical barrel in 6mmbr they will not stabalise. As for the 100gr spitzers working they are a lot shorter and lighter than the 105gr A Max so you can not compare. use the 87's shoot the barrel out then get a 9 twist fitted the 87's will shoot well past 600 yards and that will cover you.

I think that is the answer I was looking for,a reason.some of the twist charts are not very clear.
This is an old factory Winchester varmint rifle that is a long action.
I went ahead and ordered more 87grn. v maxes.
Now if I can just burn up this barrel !

Re: 105 A-Max .243 win 1-10 twist
Maybe the solution to my problem is in this thread. Win Mod 70, 1:10 with Barnes 90X. Will not group. It's a long pill, maybe I'm not pushing it hard enough. 60's group in an inch, maybe to get 1/2 moa, I need to push them harder too??
Do most of you push loads close to or over max published??
