Could someone give me the low down on building a 22-243. If I had a stock standard 243 T3. Do I just need to get a fast twist barrel fitted i.e without any other chamber modification. Want to shoot 62gr Barnes. Dont want a long barrel and plan to put a suppressor on it. Cheers.

You need a 22 cal barrel in fast twist for the big, 69-90grain etc or slow twist for the 50 ish ones.
The Barnes will probably need a 1-8.
Talk to Robbie at Gunworks Canterbury he has built heaps of them.
