    Careful you could wear the barrel out before you find a load, I think there is a 22-243 website

    Just got mine back from being built on Saturday, looking forward to seeing what it can do, I went with a 1:8 twist on mine as I has some 74g RWS projectiles that I want to get the best out of.
    Will follow with interest.

    The 1/8 is a good twist rate for the .22
    Got a 1/14 barrel here I might rechamber one day to see how fast the 40 and 50 grainers will go
