115gr DTAC'c in Lilja 1-8' twist barrel??

Hi Guys,
I'm putting together a light weight walk about for small to medium size game rifle on a remington Model 7 action and a 22" 6mm, 3 groove, 1-8" twist Lilja barrel. Haven't decided on chambering yet but either a 243, 6-6.5x47 Lapua or 6XC.
I've been offered a large amount of 115gr Moly coated DTAC's at a very cheap price...will they stabilise in a 1-8" twist barrel. I read a report where they don't shoot well with Lilja barrels. Any experience?
 
Fordnut,
My 30" Lilja 3Groove 1-8" 243AI shoots the 115 DTAC well at 3050. But the 115VLD Bergers group better. your mileage may vary with a short barrel.

gaintwist,

Whats your load data for the 243AI? I am tring the 115 DTACs now and would like any suggestions. I don't have any 115 Bergers but my try them also.

Thanks
 
Ive shot the 115 Dtac from my 6mm BR just to see if they would work. The did at 100 yards. You should be ok with the 8 twist with a .243 AI as the speed helps with stabilization.

Ill tell you another bullet to try, the 105gr Scenar is super accurate.
