I have the .243 AI reamer that I must use some day, only worth while in a 1-8" twist IMO. @Flyblown sent me an interesting quickload chart comparing the 6mm Creedmoor .243AI 6mmDasher and 6x47 Lapua I think it was that was very interesting. I ended up choosing to build the dasher over the others as it really keeps up with amazing efficiency. Flyblown, if you are not stuck in Auckland traffic or queuing for your soy latte in a glass, drop that chart here mate if you still have it..
Personally not a big fan of the current 6mm hunting bullets available, the best I have found is the 95gr Nosler BT which I run in my Dasher through a 1-9" Shilen tube

Try the 95VLD ( Targex similar) and shoot them in the chest, big Reds, bull Tahr and Fallow drop on the spot, not had one go more than 5m. 90 and 105 Speer Hot Cor, the Speer 100 Grandslam are decent killers, lots of useful .243 bullets about for standard twist rates.
