will a 1:10 handle them? using Berger jackets could be same as Berger .5 105 requires 1:8

speculation only

Think he makes two types for different rates of twist

Correct.

I have the proper ones and they shoot well in my rifle already thanks Barefoot. Just need a BC to play out a bit further

For the .243? I believe its .460 for the 105s and .450 for the 95s.
If you want to try a few I have spares here, I settled on the 95gns.

I'll lend you my chronograph to confuse the issue further.

Kinda confuses it One guy has said .460 and now you with .500. They don't look .500 in design...

105 Amax is .500 and the Berger VLD is 0.532. I don't think the 1:10 version would be that slippery (considering the 1:8 should be better) to be around .500. I would think the .460 is more like it, but as you say proof via chronograph will fix the problem.

Hi Fellas, just notices this. I make two 105gr bullets one on a 1.050" jacket with a 10S ogive which makes a bullet to stabilize in 1 in 10" twist barrels which has a BC of .460 & another made on a 1.150" jacket with a low drag design with a BC of .500 which requires a 1 in 8" twist.
I also make a 112gr on the 1.150" jacket in the low drag profile which will work in 1 in 8" twist which has a BC of .520.
The BC's on these were tested & given to me by the late Tony Halberg (one of the makers of millenium actions etc..)
Hope this clears up the confusion.
Cheers, Bryn.

The 95gr LD bullet mentioned has a BC of .450
Reason I make the shorter 105gr bullet is solely to provide a heavier bullet which will work in the 1 in 10" twist barrels which most factory 243's have.

I wouldnt know how to confirm that sorry!.

All good, thanks anyways. Might try shooting gimps Chrony instead...

make sure you shoot it right in the letter H
