[QUOTE="Chase723, post: 1596524, member: 21524"] If you plan to shoot anything else with it then 1:7.5 or 1:7 243 win or 6 Creed for factory stuff. If you want a little extra velocity to get you to 1400 with excellent barrel life get a 6 Comp Match. Easy to fireform the brass from standard 243 win. Just did initial step in load development yesterday with one of mine. 105gr Berger 49.2gr H1000=3236fps. I would bet that if I switched to Retumbo I’d get 3300. Based on others experience, barrel life should be 3000-4000 rounds and you rarely have to trim your brass. Basically, if you put the time in to fireform brass then you get twice the barrel life. If you’re not shooting competitions where you are worried about losing brass then it’s hard to beat. You could also do 6xc but give up 2-300fps, but it’ll make it 1000. You could just run the 243 hot (like a 115gr DTAC at 3000-3100 fps) buy barrels 2-3x as often, but not have to mess with fireforming at all. If you honestly don’t shoot 500-1000+ rounds/year then that would probably be the way that I’d go. If it’s only going to be for yotes then a 22 Creed with a 1:6 is the ticket. Yes barrel life is 1200 rounds but they will be an excellent 1200 rounds. [/QUOTE]
