I have a 24" barrel being made for me by E.R. Shaw chambered in .243 with a 1:8 twist. I thought I'd try and shoot Hornady 87 grain bullets in it. My question is this; Is the 1:8 twist too tight for "lighter" bullets? I actually consider it a light bullet. Most vermin bullets seem to be in the 85 grain class. This is my first .243 rifle. I hope to reload these with H414 powder.
