[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1172111, member: 1656"] I'd need to check my notes but I believe I'm around 3250 fps with 105gr bullets in the 243AI out of a 24" barrel. It's only my opinion but I view that as a significant increase over what I could get from my standard 243. Case life is excellent. I ordered a 26" but it was placed over the phone and somehow I ended up with a 24", which I went ahead and used rather than dealing with trying to return it. In the end I'm happy with the 24" and when it burns out will likely go 24" again. I don't have a 26" to compare but the gun is well balanced and I don't seem to really be giving up anything significant with the 2" difference, comparing to the velocity of others. Mine is 1:8", you only need 1:7.5" if you want to shoot the 115s. Personally I decided 105 was the sweet spot in this caliber. [/QUOTE]
