[QUOTE="grit, post: 174023, member: 4112"] James, Thanks for the reply. Not looking to rechamber at this point. Looking for better bullets / powders. That said, I would consider it for the 243. Hmm, why not A I a 270? Course out of the factory 24" tube, would you get much? Roy, Bad experience with the 243? I find the little round impressive. I bring it to have two guns when I shoot. I've rung my 1150 gong with it a lot. It seems to perform way better'n it ought to. No recoil, rabbits spread all over, coyotes dead right now. Antelope, mule deer... Magpies, crows, pds... And throw me in jail, I'd take a lung shot at elk with it. The 270 is my "go to" gun. It's never let me down. I need no convinvcing it's a capable of 700 yard plus. I'll look at your bullets and powders. Thanks! When I was doing my load development for my 300win the gentleman next to me was running the 210 berger. He said he had to limit the velocity to the point it negated the advantage of the higher bc to keep it from coming apart. They were sure accurate in his rifle though. The win is my "elk" rifle also. So, I want to know I'm shooting a tough bullet. I want exit wounds! Anyway, I'll take another look at the drop / drift data. [/QUOTE]
