Going to rebarrel my 700bdl 243 with a pac-nor barrel in 338 federal, going with 20", in the #1 light contour.

The twist rate is the big question. Cast is going to want to see 1-12 or even 1-14, while the j's will want to see 1-10. I'm kinda hoping that if I go with the 1-10 the quality of the barrel will still give me good results with cast. What do you all think
