RE: .243 Win. Varmint rounds? What grains?
I had an old Savage 110 years ago in 243 that would not shoot anything less than 75 gr bullets. Anything smaller would keyhole the target. I attributed it to the rate of twist cause it shot 100 gr bullets extremely well. But if your rifle will shoot the 55 gr bullets good I would try them or go to the 75 gr ones.
