I would sell the action or the brass or more likely go 6mm AI or 6mm-06. I really like my 6mm AI and it seems to be about the maximum case size you can go before getting really short barrel life. Velocities are close to the 240 Weatherby and I think I do notice the slight improvement over a 243 in the field, easier to hit with, less wind drift and improved terminal performance. I always have one or more stock .243s so no problem using up components or if I lost or forgot my ammo.
