Load info for fast twist .243...anyone??

Hi gang.

Looking for load recommendations for a 1:7.5 twist .243 Win. barrel. This seems REALLY fast to me. My current .243 has a 1:10 barrel.

Thanks,Stan

That doesn't seem to fast if you're anticipating shooting 115 DTACs. The twist should be at LEAST 1:8. Depending on the type of rifling method, some manufacturers will claim 1:8 when they're really a bit more than 1:8. 1:7.5 is a safer bet to get the DTACs to stabilize.

Start about 41grs of H4350 under the 115dtac and go from there. Im still waiting on my rig to be finished but that is where I will be starting. I dont believe there are any problems with running the lighter 75gr stuff with the twist.
