[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 3074411, member: 93138"] Reading Muddy's comments above got me thinking in a different track. But first, going back to the OP's question I have done a barrel nut build and I have two more qued up. To set the barrel correctly takes a little time, especially if it is your first one. It's not difficult work, just need to pay attention and be meticulous. James at Northland Shooting has been suggested several times. I'm going to add mine as well. Fantastic company and fellow to work with. All three barrels and head-space tools came from him. I am also using his barrel nuts and recoil lugs. Before I changed a barrel, brass, and dies for a very similar performing chamber I would buy another .243 barrel in a twist to support the range of bullet weights you desire to shoot. Most importantly I would choose to go .243 AI. NOT for the increase in performance, although it might be nice to have, but for the slower brass growth and for the potential of not burning out the throat quite as fast. But then again, exactly that is one of my qued builds. [/QUOTE]
