As with all custom rifles with you must work up loads from the bottom. Start with midrange .243 loads and work from there. Why the 25" tube? Here in the states many gunsmiths will go as long as 30" for a barrel because.... it's hard to see much performance difference between the standard 243 and the IMP version otherwise.~Muir
 
I chose the twist rate as i wanted it to fire 68 to 95g rounds.

my favoured round was 85g Hp in both AI and standard plus i didn't want to wait.

I was going for a 12 twist but thought i would be limited to the lighter stuff and i had a 7mm-08 for the heavies.
