243 WSSM Twist?
Hello,

What barrel twist for a 243 WSSM using 80 grain FMJ bullets? It will be used for coyote/wolf.

Thanks

10 will work, 12 will work, and 14 would even work, maybe.

No sense in limiting yourself to one weight group. I would recommend the 10 twist. That way you will have enough spin should you wish to use a heavier bullet.
