I have recently decided to purchase a rifle chambered in .243 Winchester. I have narrowed my choice down to two rifles and though one has more "options" and appeal to me, I just wanted to get everyone's opinion and/or experience with rates of twist.
One rifle has a 1:10 twist rate while the other has a 1:9.25 twist rate.
I will be using factory and hand 100 gr. loads for whitetail and smaller (I don't particularly know what size be it 55, 75, 82, 95 gr or what) for coyotes.
My main concern is will the .75 rate of twist be a big deal for one load or the other? I.e: Will the 1:9 be good for the lower grain loads and terrible for the heavier loads? Will the 1:10 be good for lower grain loads and terrible for the heavier loads? or vice versa.
Thanks for your input,
