[QUOTE="Velvet, post: 1899897, member: 103348"] I have a Tikka T3 chambered in 243ai, Bartlein 1:7.5 Twist 26". I can shoot factory 243win ammo, as well as fireformed. Give me a reason why I should change a rifle/cartridge that shoots 100/105gn bullets at 3200fs, and with which I hunted from feral heavy hogs, to deer and other species, always with instantaneous or near deaths. In its improved version as in the original, it is a cartridge capable of cleanly killing many animals at the proper distances and shot placement. The ammunition and brass available is enormous, the quantity of bullets too, new powder to use and try, etc. With the simple change of barrel for a new one with a faster Twist rate, you can fire the new 115gn bullets, or the new design and better BC ones, always, at a lower price than buying a new rifle for another "modern" cartridge, so I see it difficult for the cartridge to be in the final phase, quite the contrary , it has a bright future !!! As you can see, I´m a well established 243win fan...;) V [/QUOTE]
