Tell us about the one that got away, the flier that ruined your group, the zero that drifted, the shot you still see when you close your eyes. Winner will receive a free scope!
I have heard it said bullets matter more than headstamps. Simply shoot out your 243 barrel and screw on a 6 creedmoor.
edit: sorry didn't notice how old thread was.
In that case, after building 340 weatherby, 375 weatherby, 338 win mag, 458 win, I'd vote for a lightweight 375 weatherby. Good luck any way you go though.
