[QUOTE="300 Driver, post: 2844031, member: 91257"] I was in your shoes a couple years ago with a factory 243 Win and a 10 twist. Savage 10. I went with a 1:8, 25”(just because I could) barrel. I have no regrets launching my stockpile of 105Amax at 3100fps. The largest game I have shot with it is whitetail and axis at 50 to 550yds. Now that my barrel is nearing replacement, I have been thinking about this lately as well. My conclusion is that I am going to get a 22”, 7 twist barrel next, but throat it long to take advantage of the extra space in my magazines. My opinion, stay with 243 Win. You already have components and it will do anything the AI, CM, GT or any other 6mm can do to a game animal. Spend the money saved on RL26 when you find it! [/QUOTE]
