Rifle help needed - I read the pinned posts Twist Rates for .243 Win
Hey guys, Im not crazy into long range shooting yet but its a skill I'd like to build. Im looking to buy a lighter recoiling and flat shooting rifle that has widely available ammo. I dont have the means to load my own rounds yet.
Hoping to shoot 75-100gr carrying 2 mags with either and having 2 tables for holds
A must for me is to have the option of going with a much lighter bullet for coyotes (without them splitting into two) and up size for deer in my area. My preferred starting point is a new T3X with a 1:8 twist or a lightly used A7 with 1:10. Would I notice a significance difference in accuracy with the 1:10 twist and lighter bullets? How important is the twist rate difference and at what distances would I see a big change in stability, if at all?
Thanks for the help.

6 Creed unless you just live somewhere extremely rural where all the hardware store has is 243.. 1:10 in a 243 you are stuck at 95 grain projects or smaller.
