Bullet advise

[Sczesny]

I will be building a new personal rifle as soon as the reamer gets in my hands. My heart is set on shooting the smk 110's-.243. I've only had one 6mm in my life and it was an ar platform. Is anybody shooting these bullets and what is your opinion? Rifle in question is a .243 Winchester. Barrel is 1/7.5 twist and going to leave it as long as possible.
Thanks

There is a good discussion going on right now about .243 right here:

Admittedly it is centered around the use of .243 in an AI rifle, but that should make little difference with regards to some of the good information already posted in that thread.

My brief take of that thread is to make sure that your barrel is at least 26" long and use H1000 and you should be glorious.

What lash said. DTAC's (when available) and 105 Bergers will work in your twist very well. Can't help you on the Sierra 110.

I'm using the 110's and am REALLY impressed with them out of a Dasher in a 24" barrel. I'm shooting a Brux at 1:7.5 but know of people getting them to stabilize out of as slow as an 1:8. Best I've seen is a 5-shot at @.125 shooting 100yd and with the BC they have it should be an easy head to stretch out.
