Berger 95g VLD in Rem 700 with 9 1/4 twist

[AckleymanII]

Do any of you have any hands on experience with this bullet stabalizing in a Remington 243 with a 9 1/4" twist?

Thanks in advance

I got what appeared to be perfect holes at 100 yards, but at 200m I was getting keyholes. I didn't try to play with the load or anything. I just loaded them up about 0.010" into the lands and loaded up my standard 95 gr load. I only had about 15 bullets. It didn't work for my; however, I was using IMR 4350 and a 22" barrel. If you stepped up to a case full of 3100/4831 or H1000 class of powder, you may be able to squeeze some necessary umph to make it work, marginally.

I would give it a try, You may have to really step on the gas pedal to get them to work. I have An XP100 with a 25" Krieger 1:10 chambered in 243 Ackley. When I pushed the 95's around 3300+ they really shot tight little holes. This is my Coyote Rifle and is a faily light rifle. R22 worked good in this particular barrel, so maybee somthing in that burn rate like N560, 4831, or even 4350.

I have had this bullet up to 3500 fps in this rifle. Its a laser beam in the feild,


Whats the worst that willhappen? It wont stabalize and you can trade someone else for some difrent bullts.

I got round holes at 1000yds and a predictable trajectory as well...with a 10twist Tikka and 800ft asl at 3050fps...so you should have no issues with a 9.25 twist
