AR10 .243

@foxrunner

I recently finished a AR10 in .243 Win. I used the Aero M5 upper, lower, handguard, and BCG as the base. The barrel is from Rock River and was a pretty good price considering the barrel specs.

How does that rock river barrel shoot?

So far pretty good considering I've not done a lot of load testing. With 95gr Nosler BT's and 65gr V-Max I'm at and just over MOA. Most loads are coming in at about 1.25" on average at 100.

More than enough for a hunting rifle out to about 300 yards IMO.

What barrel twist?

Figured it must be fairly slow to stabilize the 65s. Have you tried 75 vmax yet? Kinda the sweet spot between what you already use and has good ballistics, would be perfect for a 1:10

I think I have some but have not tried them yet... just too damn hot right now to really get into load testing.

I hear that! I need to go shoot a few loads really bad and am going to suck it up and do it tomorrow i think. Nothing worse than having to come off the gun to wipe sweat between shots
