I am really enjoying the 243AI and 105's, look forward to the 6x47L in the works. The AI is averaging 3075 out of a 22" barrel and in the lands.
Have a 260 planned but I am somewhat thinking about a 6.5x47 and 120-140's but don't think it will do anything better than the 243AI. 108 Scenars are so close only your barber will know the difference.

.223 Rem. Cheap brass. Cheap bullets and efficient. If tight twisted, can work well on medium game.

16B, How fast can you push those 108's in a 260? We know a 105 can get close to 3000 fps from a 243 for comparison. The HPBT has a .530 G1; the Hybrid is 0.547. A 105 Hybrid at 3000 fps seems like a lot for little if you can bear a Burger Jason

270 win with 130 at 3200 fps.
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

.223 Rem. Cheap brass. Cheap bullets and efficient. If tight twisted, can work well on medium game. I put over 1000 rounds thru my 223 RAR in the past few months, mostly out to 500+ yards. Been using the 75gr AMAX at a measly 2900 fps. Not a ton of rounds, but I think I've learned more with that cheap 223 than all my other rifles combined. Amazing for such a low round count. Shooting in wind with minimal recoil has been a great learning tool. I've seen a bud make some great shots with the same rifle, after struggling with more recoil from more "manly cartridges" at half the distance. Trigger time and round count make up for speed and BC to provide a path to shooting skill. I've been late to the 223 & 75 AMAX party so might be preaching to the choir

Load development should be cake.....

Looking forward to your thoughts on that RAR 17 and Super Bird combo. If it can fill the gap between 22lr and 223 beyond 200-300y I'd have to get one. 223 is going to wear out my reloading gear Are you going elevated rail?

Nah, should be plenty of turret/dots to reach 500. Wind will be a whore though. I was monkeying with SWFA - 10/22 chunk, but at 10+ lbs it was pretty much useless for anything other than bench time. Dropped it back into a Hogue and stole the 16" .920 tube off my daughters rig. Threw some new fangled Redfield tacticool scope on and Talleys and shaved it to 7#. Might go aluminum Tactical Solution tube down the road.
Chunk parts and rail coming to the classifieds soon..

Just took a 10/22 out of a heavy KKC Frankendork and put it in a Hogue to make it more handy-dandy this past weekend.
I've had a couple TS pistol barrels but I'm pretty sure they are still using an Alu breech on all barrels. Check out the Kidd lightweight barrels. They have a steel breech face. I'll probably try one soon. I've been impressed with the Kidd trigger and other parts.
