[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2072196, member: 9299"] Your criteria for long barrel life and 200 rounds per shoot/day will eliminate a lot of rounds. Especially your desire for 243win, for I have toasted 243W throats on P-dog towns in about 1,000rds and less. The 243 AI throat holds a little better, but again, life will not be long with much shooting. Unless you are talking about only 2-3 days per year. I've used 223 long throats and 223AI's both with 9 and 8" twists with 50-55gr (100-500yds) and 75-80gr for longer shots (600-800yds), and they have worked well, and depending on wind, I have pushed 222's to 500+yds or so. All those have seen several days of 3-500+rounds/day with one 3 day shoot average of 535/day. If you still desire a 6mm, I would go with a 6BR or 6BRA or "similar" with an 8 twist. [/QUOTE]
