Sell the 300 and buy a 243.
What model is the 300? Depending on what it is you may be real money ahead to just sell.
Not being snide just to tired to get in-depth. Someone will be along

I’d keep the 300 and buy a 243. Check the SAAMI #’s for each....

To be a .243 candidate, the action needs to be serial number 900,000 or higher (length issues). In any cartridge conversion on a 99, you may have to replace or alter the rotor and cartridge guide and possibly alter the feed ramp.

Didn't someone here recently say length of the action had not changed.

Rearranged to allow longer cartridges to fit inside. Loggah and family redid one pre-900,000 99 to handle the 308 family of cartridges, but it was a LOT of work according to him.

So the newer rotor will not fit in a pre 900K rifle? I remenber Don's picture of the 358 winchester they did also remember he said it was a pain with much work.
Maybe what I am missing is the internal work or length. Any 800k rifles inj the 308 win family?
