[QUOTE="preacherman, post: 275789, member: 2494"] There is quite a lot to consider here... when you commit to rechambering and also fluting a factory barrel... you might want to shoot this barrel first, especially since it shoots so well... Then later, if you're still of the same mind, have a custom barrel in .243AI installed... Yes, you can shoot factory .243 ammo in an AI chamber... I love the .243 and also AI, but the benefits of the Ackley are not realized so much until you shoot from a heavier/bench or bipod setup... which means more weight than you want right now... The AI will shoot hotter/faster (improved case holds more powder) and "potentially" more accurate, but shortens the barrel life somewhat... and of course, you'll need to handload for the AI... Just take your time and try to get input from as many sources as you can... In the end, you should do what you want to do... [/QUOTE]
