[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 1894697, member: 55944"] I am not really sure what you are asking for. You said you want more oomph than a 243 but not a barrel burner. The 243 is a barrel burner, so it’s not going to be likely to find one that isn’t. However, from the cartridges you listed, only the 6mm Remington will exceed the 243 in “oomph” the others will run close if not a little behind the 243. Of the cartridges you listed I’d choose the 6creedmoor it’s just a tad larger case than the 6 XC or the 6/47L and it comes with excellent factory ammo offerings from Hornady. I built one on a lilja 3 groove and it puts every load through the same hole. [/QUOTE]
