looking at building a 243win rifle for tactical LR shooting. this is my first 243 so what twist rate do you recommend. i know it depends on what bullet i'll use so let's say anything from 100-<span style="font-weight: bold">115</span> grains.... thanks...

7.5 twist, 115 DTACs, H1000 for barrel life.

its your choice either 7.5 or 8 but either will work. I have shot 107smk to 1200yards easily stabilized with 8 twist out of my 243ai.

7.5 and I use H4350,
