If as stated you are looking at short range bench rest type shoots 100-300yrds 1-13 twist -1-14 twist 0 free bore and shoot 64 0r 68gr stinger ballistics bullets or Berger Bullets If going further out
then you need to look at a tighter twist and more free bore

Late to this party, but still grinning from my first long range shooting experience. 26” IBI 7.5 twist 6BR, and nailed a 16x16 inch plate four times in a row at 1000m. Took a break to help others for a while, next shot missed just left in the changing wind, but hit the plate again two more times right after. Then started going for longer targets.
I’m happy with my reloading process too, since that string of ammo I made had an SD of 4.2fps. The waterline on the steel at 1000m was tight. 30.0 grains of Varget, Lapua 1f brass, and Berger 105 hybrid targets.
My friend’s rangefinder that I borrowed couldn’t pick up the steel, so I just bought a better one and am now looking at a Kestrel. You could say I’m hooked on this. Lol!

I picked one out of an estate last year. A 40xbr came with the original 14T heavy barrel and an 8T barrel installed. Burris 8-32 and bunch of dies too. Brass was a bugger but I got running with 100 Lapua from a friend. Shot the 105 Lapua Scenars quite well at short distance. Tempted to put it in a different stock but haven’t got back to it. Does it do more than a 243? Supposedly but I need to experience it yet.

Slower, but usually more accurate. I like the stock it is in. Nice 40x. - dan
