I personally have had 5 243's. the newest is a 243AI. 28" shilen, 721rem. timmey, straight contour barrel and custom tuned action and1-14 barrel. with this twist I have to shoot light weight bullets. the 77gr. Lapua Seneau (SP) bullets. I have not had chance to shoot further than 175yrds. 5 shots .380in. the 243 with the heavest of bullets can be used for long range kills, but by a experienced shooter. gun) [/QUOTE]
