Dennis, the 6x47 I recently sold averaged 2956, 105 Amax over RL26, 22.75" barrel.

I checked my notes and my 243AI that I recently sold, averaged 3018, 105 Amax over RL22, 22.5" barrel.

My 243 donor for the AI above averaged 3005, 105 Amax over RL26, 24" barrel.

Out of a 22" barrel I believe it's a tie.
