I've been shooting all my life but recently become interested in bench rest shooting and may want to compete one day. I have a Tikka T3 heavy barrel in 243win. I've been loading my own with 70g bullets and have got decent accuracy. I notice almost all the competive shooters use far heavier bullets though like 105-115gr boat tail. What's the benefit of loading these heavier bullets? I would need a customs barrel to even shoot them since they need a fast rifling.
