Just got my GAP Rock 243 the other day and I will be going on an antelope hunt the second weekend of September. My gun has a 24" 1/7.5 twist Bartlein. I have some Berger 95gr VLD hunting bullets and some 107gr Sierra match. Are the Sierra's a decent hunting bullet or would I be better off using the 95gr VLD's. Is the the twist too fast for 95's or should I order some of the 105 VLD's? Also any load data for the Berger's would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I tried the Snipers Hide Google search engine but could not find what I was looking for. If I missed it I will apologize in advance.

with that 7.5 twist, I believe I'd go with the 115 bergers. They'll put the smackdown on speed goats. I had a bad experience with the 107's. THose Bergers will open up and do some serious damage.
