SD; the rifle will most likely be built on a 700 SA. or a clone. Same as I did with my Grendel. Im not really a fan of the Mini actions and because Im a lefty, they arent available in left actions.
Fess; No plans to ever use monos for this particular rifle. Although I do have a couple hundred CBB 118 MKZs that Im itching to try in Grendel, when time allows.
And yes ..the .243AI was pushing 58gr. Vmax over 4100fps. Thats why I went with a slower twist (1:10) so I didnt spin the jacket off. Hornadys data shows velocities of 3600fps with a 58 vmax and a 24 tube. Ill be 2-4 longer than that. So possibly 3700?
Ill check with Hornady and see what the recommended minimum twist is for their 103 ELD-X.
