Thanks for the input, gentleman. I will speak with the smith again tomorrow. Right now I am leaning towards 243, or more likely, 243AI.

Surprised no one mentioned the 250AI? P.O. himself wrote that it was one of the best AI's. Seems like a perfect choice for your use.

243 AI or 6.5/47 Lapua. I love my new 243 AI throated with 105 HPBT at 2.750" it fits the 2.8xx" Remington ADL box just fine with room to feed and chase the lands.

This Spring(first week of April). ![[Linked Image]](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1280x1024q90/661/lfvzfN.jpg) You're gonna cause a stroke or 10 when people connect the dots on the BR with a 105 taking that bear....

I won an 84 in 338 Federal, things didn't work out. I had it re-barreled with a 24" Kreiger barrel in 257 Roberts. I love the gun and it is far more accurate than me. I also got a slightly heavier contour barrel making it easier to shoot.
Everyone that shoots it, loves it. Given the opportunity, I would do it exactly the same again.

.25 Souper AI. It has the same powder capacity of the .257 Bob. Run .243 brass through an expander die and fire form and you're done. It would be unique and monumental.
