This intrigues myself as well. My interest stems from the twist rate and will it stabilize 115's also and the freebore as well. Everyone talks of the 6 creedmoore and 6xc, me personally am leaning on a 243 AI as I have dies for it.

Do you remember your velocity?
i shot one for a friend with factory loads and it shot really good but do not recall bullet weight.

I didn't know they did a 1:8 on the 243's. If they shoot as good as their 1:8 223's they'll be awesome.

Is this 1;8 option new for Tikka ?

I think it's been available for a few years now but I just don't think the popularity took off as planned do to the 6creed and 6GT. But that's just my guess

I don't see many heavy bullets loaded in factor 243 ammo.

Correct for handloaders this is another good option tho.
