    Gunsmithing 243 barrel shot out

    The 243 my son shoots the throat is shot out. I have seated the bullets out to 2.970 to get them to group again. That is about as far out I can seat the bullets with the case trim length. How many more rounds do you think until that is done?

    Hunting & Fishing .243 wssm?

    Anybody hunt with a .243 wssm? Got a chance to get a Winchester coyote for a pretty good deal, but haven't ever shot one. Ballistics look pretty good. Just wanted some opinions from somebody that actually has one.

    .243 vs .260 vs 6.5x47 Lapua

    Trying to decide on what to chamber my rifle with. Pro's cons of each? I was going to get .260 but powder valley was out of stock of uncoated bullets. Made me think of .243. Pros? Cons? The intended use of this will be competition to 1K.
