Mike Britton here.
I have had a couple threads going about re-barreling my 1959 110L from .30-06 to 6mm Remington.
I should bring one of those threads back to the top, but I don't know how to change the header.

Anywayyy, further research compels me to look harder at the .243 as a viable cartridge for my barrel swap.
My concern is the .243 in a long action like the early 110. I have seen, and actually own a large ring 98 Mauser that was 8mm Mauser but is now .308, and cycles like butta!

I would like to hear from any of you guys that have .243's in long actions. How do they cycle? What twist do you like?

The .243 is beginning to look very much more practical than the anachronistic 6mm Rem, brass/ammo will be available for a long time!

Thanks for putting up with an old man that needs lessons on how to negotiate the forums! Mike
