tried a 100gr

[bignoel 14]

i was geting on fine with my 243 with 80gr and thought i would like to try a 100 gr for grouping throu my remi 7 and she shoots them a lot better tight grouping .is this because she is a 1-10 someone told the heavier the grain the better for the 1-10 twist is this correct .

try hornady 87gn hollow point very accurate most .243s are 1in10 they will shoot most bullets up to 100 gn

 

 

but factory ammunition will vary from brand to brand

I've put all sorts through my .243 and the best group i've had is on 58gr Norma's fast as you like, not good if your putting lot's down range though ....

your really lucky getting the 100g rounds to shoot mate, but the 1 in 10 is designed to shoot nearly all the range of weights....

 

as a rule the faster the twist the bigger weight bullet you can stabilize...... i could never get 100g to shoot well....

 

snap.
