That flings a craving on me. I have been wanting a .243 barrel for my Encore.

I went 243AI cause brass doesnt stretch as much. I like a 243 it gets the job done.

I have a .243W XP-100 w/ 17" Kreiger barrel.....it's a true shooter!! Uses Varget and 70gr NBT....never chorno'd it. It's put down a ton of 1/4 MOA group at 400yds when the wind is cooperating. Mine is a 14" twist.

I had a 14 twist MGM encore--My buddy Mark has it now--shot 55gr NBT's out of it over varget--
That barrel shoots better than me--it is no problem keeping them in 2" @ 300
If it jams force it! If it breaks it needed replacing anyway.

Steve will be here late Thursday night. Does that mean I need to pack tonight and fly tomorrow? 
Bug...you ever try 80's from that 14 twist?

I could not get anything over 70 in a boattail design to stablize(did not try many)--I tried some 85 Sierra HP's & 80 NBT's--they were great in my 10 twist--did not work well at all in the 14--
Never tried any flat base bullets--they may have worked in the 80gr range--
The 55 NBT's and 58 V-max shot so well I never tried anyting else --other than just a few rounds that were loaded for my 10 twist.
If it jams force it! If it breaks it needed replacing anyway.

Anything over 70gr in this barrel. looks like your sticking a knife in the target. I wanted a light bullet gun anyway.

If you are coming, then, yes Steve will be here late Thursday night. Does that mean I need to pack tonight and fly tomorrow?
