[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 262553, member: 15748"] Your easiest option here would be a 6x45mm, simply a 5.56mm necked up to take .243 bullets. Plenty of load data available, decent performance, and readily available (and inexpensive) brass for reforming. This is a simple rebarreling, nothing more. Beyond that, there are several other options, all of which require more work, much more costly brass, and more effort on your part. I've had a 6x45, and it was a decent combination. I've seen a number of the other guns, particularly the 6mm PPC set up in ARs for competition use, but they do tend to be a lot more finicky. If you want an actual .243 Win (I wasn't quite clear on this from your post) then you're looking at a larger platform, such as the AR-10. What did you want to do with this? That should be the final determining factor in how you set it up. Kevin Thomas Berger Bullets [/QUOTE]
