    I'm not really looking for a 243, rather something different I guess. I have enough deer guns so I'm more interested in an accurate smaller calibre...

    No 6x47 Lapua because brass costs heaps and I cant be bothered with the fire forming thing. Not that I am guessing it is much in this case, still its something to go wrong...
    Have you considered a fast twist 22-243 ?

    My 1-7 twist one is incredible, 90 Bergers at 31-3200, accurate enough for bunnies past 800, no recoil.

    Barrel life isn't fantastic, but barrels are consumables
    7mmsaum and Micky Duck like this.
    Contact me for reloading components, brass, projectiles, powder, primers, etc
