Hey Rossi just a question, obviously you are getting excellent accuracy ect with vmaxs without question. just wondering why you dont use higher b.c projectiles for wind cutting ability ect.

good question @Tim Dicko

the hard and fast answer is i am very happy with the 87grn. VMax . . . but if someone has suggestions for a higher BC bullet for 1-10 twist 243W i would be interested to hear their thoughts

Enjoyed the Targex 95 but was slower obviously.

Hit Goats really hard though and was super accurate in my Tikka.

The one in ten twist is not optimal for the over 100 grain it seems. the one in 8 looks like i takes over there. Try crunching the numbers on the 103 eldx on a twist calculator. i use 143 eldx in my 260rem varmint rifle and it has been very good at range.
