[QUOTE="TAC, post: 310213, member: 9236"] I have a fast twist 22-250 and shoot 75gr A-Maxes. The BC is reported to be .435 which is just okay. If you want to shoot the 90gr Sierras you better have a 1 in 6.5 or 1 in 7 twist barrel. I think a fast twist 6Br or 243 would be a better choice for varminting and open F class. A 105gr A-Max will stabilize in most 243's with a 1-9.25 twist barrel and they have a BC of .500. If you get a 1 in 8 twist you can shoot 107gr Sierras which stay above .500 all the way down to 1600 fps. ...Also, 243's are just wicked on P dogs. I don't want to talk you out of the fast twist 22-250, after all I do own one; but with that being said my 243AI is my go to gun for long range varminting. TAC [/QUOTE]
