[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 282817, member: 306"] In Speer wildcat manual #4 published 1959 they did a write up on the 240 Page Super Pooper also the 243 Rockchucker which gave better velocity than the 240PSP used alittle more powder also. The 240PSP would get 3350fps with 90gr bullets the 243 Rockchucker would get 3480fps same bullet This is just me but if your going to do something off the 6Rem case do a 6RemAI you will get more case capacity than with the 240PSP. I've got two of them both with 1/10 twist barrel. For many years I shot the standard 243 still have my first 243 that I got new in 1965 been rebarrel a bunch times. Couple years ago I had a 243AI build used a 1/10 twist barrel great caliber. I'm not much into VLD bullets got a 6.5x284 that takes care of my need's for a VLD bullet. When I lived in Calif I used to go up to Huntington shop/store was fun listening to him talk about his wildcat calibers. One problem the 240PSP could of been the best caliber going back in time same with most wildcats just didn't have the internet and I think things were more regional. Well good luck [/QUOTE]
