I have four custom 243s
Two with the 1-14 twist for shooting coyotes. I like the 55 grain bullets but even they like the 75 grain bullets better.
one of the rifles is 1-12 twist I shoot most all weights in it, except the 55 and real heavy ones. I get about 1.25 inch groups with the 107 grain bullets.
My last rifle was my sons a savage with a 1-10. Still the 107 didn’t do as well as the 100 grain, 5/8 inch group with H450. it would not shoot the 55 grain bullets at all.
I liked the 1-12 twist the best; with 75 grain bullets it bucked the wind well.
It worked well on coyotes also.
have fun and happy shooting.
