[QUOTE="Rizla, post: 501951, member: 33469"] correct me if i'm wrong but all the ballistics information i can find on the internet seems to point towards the .243 having less drop and wind drift compared to most if not all of the other 6mm cartridges i have come across. i've seen results showing a .243 115gr dropping 232 inches at 1k. and according to the table at the bottom of the page at [url=http://www.6mmbr.com/243win.html].243 Win + .243 AI Cartridge Guide[/url] that is noticeably better than the other common 6mm rounds. is it possible to get barrels with a larger diameter to compensate for lost rigidity in a longer barrel or does this just add far too much weight to bother with? i don't mind having a slightly heavy rifle if it means better performance. its not like i'm going to be doing long stalks carrying it round for hours.
