Have a Rem 700 .243 Win rifle. Been using Hornady 105 Amax bullets to see how they shoot and have found that I get many flyers. Apparantly the 9.25 twist in my rifle with its' original 22" barrel is too slow. I have a new 26" barrel on it with the same twist...is it possble that a 4" longer barrel might be enough to stabilize this bullet---or am I only dreaming?
