Hello all im still searching for my .243. I have the option of a tikka T3 hunter with T8 for £580 or a Tikka m55 whith only a few marks on the stock but a good bore for £250 (this needs screw cut etc) anyway back to the main question. The T3 has a twist rate of 1/10 is that ok or should i look for something else as my last T3 had a twist rate of 1/8. I didnt think this search would be so confusing
 
My tikka has a 1 in 10 twist and handles bullets from 55gr to 100gr with no problems. It should be fine.
 
Mosa - do you know the barrel lenghs on the two rifles, have either of them been altered
 
Most .243 barrels with a a one-in-ten twist prefer bullet weights of 85gr or less, however, I won a box of 100gr Privi Partizan bullets at a stalkers shoot and they shot a half-inch group to the same place as the 75gr V.Max I was zeroed for.

HWH.
