243 WSSM Twist Rate

[JB Enterprise]

Just thought i would Pose this question to the hide. I am building a new varmint rifle in 243 WSSM and i am looking for twist rate sugestions. Specs are as follows Savage short action with the controled round feeding bolt head, no feeding problems and if I decide to use the longer vld bullets no problems with magazine length. Plan on putting on a good barrel probably douglas or equivalent not worried about barrel life. And bed the whole thing into a Boyds wide thumb hole stock. Plan on shooting up to a 95 grain bullet no lighter than 58 grain v max. So any sugestions would be appreciated.

Anything from a 9 to a 10 twist should work for you if all you need to stabilize is a 95gr bullet.
