[QUOTE="dougm, post: 142374, member: 5372"] I went through this decision myself recently. I have a xp100 set in a rear grip McMillan stock originally in 7mmBR. I looked hard at the .243WSSM and the .243AI. It seemed I could reach the velocity I wanted (105 Amax @ 2900fps) with a bit less powder using the WSSM. But, since I already had a rifle in .243AI and so had dies, neck bushing etc. I decided to go with the .243AI (saved a bit on not having to have the bolt opened and a Sako extractor installed). I also am going to go to a 20 inch barrel. IMO with the small bore size, the barrel length is more important to case capacity as pressure maximums are reached sooner. I'm sure either one will work for your intentions. Good luck with the project. [/QUOTE]
