JockStalk Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 I have a factory remington SPS varmint with 1:9125 twist 24” barrel. It shoots 105 amax well with N165 at just under 2900 FPS. There is an itch I have to put a faster twist shorter barrel on it. Make it a bit lighter and a bit pointier for deer and vermin, plus able to lob out successfully to longer range targets. Would like to stick with 105Amax but stay versatile enough for 87g and 58gr vmax. Maybe even heavier dtac’s. Would fast twist preclude the lighter bullets? Would shorter (18-20”) barrel be too slow for heavies, not just for deer legality but also range use? Is the itch worth the scratch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deserttech Europe Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Not at all, My goto rifle is an 18" 1x7 twist that throws 105 at 2850 easily and 1/4 moa accuracy. Easy 1000 yard gun. God shoots a .243 you know. Ewen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JockStalk Posted February 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Good to hear Ewen. Does that still spit out lighter bullets effectively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deserttech Europe Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Brilliantly, my shooting buddy has an identical set up and slay his body weight in rabbits and foxes with bullets in the 50ish range. (Ours are Lothar Walther barrels fired from a DTS SRS , just for info) Ewen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
