[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 437898, member: 25383"] the .243 has a poor neck design, and this causes problems with very light bullets as well as very long bullets. As long as you stay in the 80 to 95 grain range your fine. A 6mm Ackley will also allow you to use factory ammo. You can also ream the chamber a little short (with a 6mm Rem. reamer), and get several wildcats that really shoot well. I like the 6mm HLS, and the 6/250AI, but the HLS is the better of the two. If you going to shoot big long VLD's, then you need at least a 1:8 twist barrel with a one & one half degree throat that's very short. I shoot VLD's and Amax bullets out of my 6/250ai at about 3000 fps for .270" groups gary [/QUOTE]
