[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 462623, member: 25383"] a cheaper way is to simply box the rifle up, and send it off to Pacnor for whatever caliber you want. a note of the .243AI to think about. When you fire form .243 brass into .243AI brass you will also have a shrinkage in the over all length to deal will. The .243 neck is already on the short side to start off with, and you end up making the neck about .035" shorter. Most guys that are serious about the round form their brass from 6mm Remington or generic .257 roberts brass (6.5x55 will also work just fine). I shoot a 6/250AI, and use generic .243 brass. The shoulder comes out at about 1.514" while the .243AI will be right at 1.56". The velocities are not all that far apart, and brass is easier and cheaper to build. You also might want to think about a 6BR. That one's even easier gary [/QUOTE]
