[QUOTE="Citified, post: 3074252, member: 99567"] I did a rebarrel on my .243 that was shot out and bought an inexpensive stainless short chambered barrel from Midway. Bought the gauges, reamer and tools because I thought I would do more of these. It was a rewarding experience and came out fine. Shoots good but the twist is still too slow for heavies. I ended up buying a Ruger in 6CM that is better than 1/2 MOA with factory ammo. In the end was it worth it? Probably should just have put a faster twist AI in the .243 since it already had trigger and stock upgrades. I am pretty technical but don’t own a lathe. You may enjoy the experience and the tools will work on other rifles if you choose to. Nothing wrong with a fast twist .243 profit, but if you go down that path I would have them AI it for better brass life. [/QUOTE]
