[QUOTE="PartsJr., post: 2058352, member: 87242"] Thank you again for your comments. I like the 6ai, the longer neck and capacity, but I’m not liking the availability of brass. The 6/284 is a cool looking round but I suspect barrel life will be short and I’m not seeing a significant gain over some of the slightly smaller rounds. I haven’t ruled out the 6Creedmoor or 6x47 or a few other cartridges mentioned but would like the case capacity to push 110ish grain bullets over 3000fps. I have some more reading to do. I’m leaning toward the .243ai as I already have one along with dies and brass. The barrel on my current .243ai is not quite shot out so I’m thinking I’ll buy some good high end brass and fire form in this gun with the intent of using it in my future build. Do you see any issues with having my smith head space using my existing fire formed brass? One other question I haven’t researched (forgive me if this is already posted) Do you see much difference in accuracy between say completely prepped (neck turned, primer pocket uniformed, flash hole debuted, sorted by weight) Winchester brass and doing the same to a higher quality brass (Lapua or other)? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
