I just got an earlier (pre accutrigger) model 14 in 243 Win, serial # G192474
Before I go out and buy bullets to work up a load for it, I would like to know what the barrel twist rate is. I know all of the new stuff is 1:9.25 but does that apply to the pre-accutrigger models ? I would like to use the heaviest/highest BC load I can and I know with the 1:9.25 that was the 95gr SST. None of the longer / pointier bullets like the 95gr Berger would group. If it is a 1:10 then I might have to back down to something in the 75-80 gr range.
This is intended to be a coyote engagement rifle for a woman and the goal is to keep it light, recoil moderate while keeping the ballistics as good as possible for 250+ yards shots.
