Greetings All, I always get a good laugh when I see a thread where a rifle is described as fussy or doesn't like a particular projectile. Rifles are inanimate objects and don't like or dislike...

The Norma 62 grn I had set up to just touch the lands (5 thou off) had started popping the odd primer which perplexed me and I couldn't understand. Just measured them with the new collet and they are...

Depending on end usage,maybe try some basic cup n core Hornady or speer in 80-90 grn weights. The 87grn Hornady had a huge following for many years.

Don't believe this?, put up a really big target and I mean big a1 sized at 200 metres and fire a few rounds at it, go look at the holes if there are any. You'll be a convert

The Sierra has a long VLD shape. It requires a 1:9" twist regardless of the weight. Check the box or the Sierra website. The 90gr ELDX is another good option for a 1:10. The 90gr TGK is marginal...

The 95gr Targex is a good bullet and has shot well from several 1:10" twist .243s for me - every rifle I have tried it in.

It's cool that there are actually sensible factory options emerging for .223 - right twist rate and good mags

I am happy to have some extra weight, in fact that's what I would like for a long range rig but the Bergara is around 4.4kg bare. I would be happy to have a rig which weighed around that with a scope...
