Really thinking an 18-20" 243ai was thinking any of the Berger 90-95 and the Sierra 95tmk or the 90g gamechanger also. Proably get 3000-3100 maybe out of the 243ai with an 18-20" barrel.
A 243AI will get you there with those bullets.
A .750 taperless barrel at 18" should be sub 3#, unfluted. My 21" .338 caliber Light Palma contour, fluted was 3#-6oz, IIRC.
