So I have a 1:10 twist 243. I'd like to shoot the 105gr ELD-M's out of it, but with the price of components these days I'd prefer not to gamble.

Anyone have experience with this combo? Yay/Nay?

I bet absolutely no one has experience with that combo.

If you mean the 108 ELD that is a pretty slow twist for it.

My 1:10 starts to get picky in the 90-100 grain range especially with more aerodynamic bullets.
I’m shooting 95 gr Berger Classic hunters, it did not like 90 gr Sierra gamechangers as a factory load or when I loaded the bullets.
Shot 100 partitions, pro hunters etc fine.

you likely will not get what you need to stabilize that. I don't know what your looking for, but you probably wouldn't see much difference over something in the 90 gn area unless you're really reaching out there.

This calculator should help - just need some basic info from the bullet:
