Why not 243? It can be a great round too.

Barrel burner. Sold my R700 243 back in the 90's when I couldn't figure out why it went to absolute crap for groups. Didnt know back then what I know now, dumb mistake made in my mid 20's. Round count between me and my dad was probably around 900 +/-100 which is around the life of a 243 barrel as they erode the throat pretty quickly. Wish now that I had kept it and rebarreled, old remington quality far and above current remington production.

But in price difference in ammo, surely that barrel cost is made up some with cheaper ammo, no?
