So I had a Ruger No. 1 Varminter in .243 fall into my lap and I'd like to re-chamber it for something interesting. Here's the specs (from Ruger's website).
26" barrel
1-7.7 twist.
Will be used for critters in Texas from white tails to coyotes and hogs of course. Maybe some steel for fun. Wife and kids might shoot it as well.
I'd like to change it to something that can take advantage of the heavier bullets. I'm thinking something like a .243AI or 6-284 or ?????.
What say you?
