[QUOTE="woods, post: 877964, member: 6042"] No you will not have to change the bolt face The 243AI is a "short" caliber but should not be a problem in your "long" action. I actually prefer the long actions and have rebarreled 2 rifles that were 300 win mags into 6.5 rem mags, a short action caliber. IME it allows you to seat long bullets way out there and give plenty of room for easy chambering. Thinking about working with the 90 gr Scirrocco. Tough bonded bullet that will not explode and ruin fur or make a mess. Around 3200 to 3300 fps should be easy. Need to investigate twists but I would think a 1 in 9 +- Would make a nice light walking varminter with a McMillan Edge that could also down a deer when wanted [/QUOTE]
