[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 521279, member: 23486"] That question had me doing some head scratching...:rolleyes: I have a soft spot for the 6mm bore diameter, I started with the 243 win, reamed to 243AI, shot that barrel out & went with the 6mmAI, I also have a 700LA chambered in 6-284 & a DPMS LR-243. I've shot the 6mm's WAY more than any other bore diameter I own, I would recommend the 6mmAI all the way, the neck length is very nice to have on your side as well as the added velocity & case life, the 6mmAI is a capable cartridge you will really enjoy (although I will admit I was in love with the 243AI as well:D) If you don't want to wildcat I would probably offer the 243 win, the ability to utilize Lapua brass is to good to pass on for a factory cartridge & since the velocity is neglible, it should be the clear winner.
