[QUOTE="Aussie, post: 55861, member: 2447"] My .243 Ackley has a nine inch twist too and I have been using the 95gn Berger VLD . It has a B.C. of .524 . I get 3270 fps easily . You should get 3100 + . At 3270 it maintains 1000 foot pounds of energy to nearly 650 yds .Using 200 yd zero , windage at 750 yds in 10 mph cross wind is only 26.3 inches . Light 55 gn pills won't come close in the wind and struggle to retain that 1000 foot pounds of energy to 250yds in a standard .243 at 3750 FPS . My program shows your 55gn load as having 15 inches more drop and 41 inches more windage at 750 yds than my 95 VLD load . The Berger shot a half inch 5 shot group with the first load I tried using WXR powder . Have only made one kill with it so far but the projectile opened up very quickly so should be good on varmints at extended ranges . Well worth a try .
