Bought a 99c in .243 at auction last Saturday for $300. Bright bore. Decent shape for a used gun. Shows usual handling wear on the bottom of the receiver along with dings and handling wear on the walnut stock. Ser# A037408. Have not shot it yet. Will it hurt to dry fire it? Been around long enough to know there are some guns you can... and some you had better not. Also, anyone out there reload .243 for this model? Any powder/bullet combos stand out? What should the overall bullet length be? I have plenty of components to load the .243 left over from my hey-days and look forward to swamp-shooting some deer with this rifle. Thanks... Breen.
