    Should I get a .243 or a .260?

    Re: Should I get a .243 or a .260? dang, you guys are making my decision hard. sounds like most would chose the 260, but not much bad to say about the 243. i guess i'll just hunt for both of them, and get what ever the best deal i can find.

    To Chop my 17's Barrel or Not???

    I'm taking my Savage 93R17 FVSS in to have the barrel threaded for one of my cans, and was wondering if I should have a little of the barrel chopped and recrowned while it's in there. Would I screw up the accuracy? Is there an optimum barrel length for 17HMR's? I really cant find anything on it.

    Economy 243?

    Re: Economy 243? i'm thinking that i'd like to keep the whole package under $1500. i don't reload as of this time, that is why i want a .243, because there's lots of factory rounds out there and they aren't crazy expensive.
