Best .243 barrel

[rtr]

Going to need a new barrel, shooting .243 with 115 DTACs, current load is going ~2975. I want the best accuracy I can get, so what brand and twist barrel have folks had success with?

Blonde or Brunette?
Ford or Chevy?
Chocolate or Vanilla?

Seriously?! Just pick a premium barrel maker that offers a 7.75 or 7.5 twist and go with it.

If you'll be shooting 800 yds plus, go with the 7.5 twist for additional stability. If it's for 800 in, the 7.75 would be better for the additional velocity it should give you.

Get a hold of Bugholes here on the hide, I got a barrel from him for a 243 in progress. He stocks a bunch of barrels and ships fast.

Since when do you shoot a .243?

Broughton or krieger 7.5 twist. Either order.
