Cheap button. .243 Win
Only a sizing die swap and some fire forming. .243AI
Best brass options. 6CM (Lapua, Alpha, Peterson)
New kid on the block. 6GT But I think you will lose a bit of performance, but also loading less powder/recoil and better barrel life.
I have a 24" 6CM. The "Mr Confidence" nickname was given to it by my shooting buddies.
I have taken pronghorn, and a ton of coyotes out to 921 yards, and about a thousand rounds on steel. Not sure how much more life I will get out of the barrel, but I will shoot it until it gives up the ghost. 105 Hyb @ 3188fps is no slouch. It is my truck gun on scouting trips, because it annihilates coyotes. Can't wait for July 1st to go smoke some prairie dogs with it too.
