Got my wheels turning too. Seems my 700 adl 243 in the safe would be an ideal candidate. After reading this thread, keepin it a 243 vanilla wouldn't be near as much fun as converting to the A.I. version...
Leave it a 243. BTDT on the factory barrels set back and made AI. Not worth the cost and time for 100 fps. Won't see any difference in the field. Trimming is about eliminated. Big whoop.
If you are rebarreling, go for it.
I'm in support of this as well. If this barrel hadn't ALREADY been punched AI, I wouldn't have gone that route. But, it was so that was just an added bonus.
As far as I'm concerned, a vanilla 243 will drive the 80s to 3350(ish), and the 105s a bit under 3100. That's a lot of smack from 45-49gr of powder.
