.... You'd pretty much be stuck with a "varmints only" gun with those twist rates.. Don't think 100+ gr. will shoot worth a hoot in it. My Lilja bbl. 243AI has a 9" twist. Ordered it that way for a little heavier slug. So far it shoots the 85 gr. Sierra HPBT lights out. Been running some 95 gr. VLD's with mixed feelings. May move up some this spring when I can get more bench time...
