[QUOTE="RonS, post: 1335363, member: 68613"] Update on 243. That factory barrel was too thin to shoot long strings in F Class. It was already pretty well fire cracked with ~1k rounds down the tube. The .308 was a hoot but was just too exhausting and exacerbating to shoot in matches. Just ordered a 30 inch bull barrel in 243 with a match chamber and a 7.5 twist. Plan is to toss 115 grain pills. If it shoots I'll shoot it in F Class. Was tempted by 6 Creedmoor, 6XC, 6 SLR and even 6x47. In the end I already had the Lapua 243 brass and match dies. Figured what the hell, I'll give it another try. Might be over a month before I get the barrel but will report back when I do. [/QUOTE]
