Sooo... I have a used Weather Warrior in 22-250 For a project...

Was looking down the .243 road for some longer range fun.. I explained my Project to a mate who knows a thing or two about "Long Range" and he "Made a face"...

I was hoping to see a glint in his eye and for him to start waffling on about how good the 6mm projectiles are and so on but he just kept staring at me...

After an awkward few minutes I asked him why he was making "That face" and he just said "well, you see if you want long range, get something much better than you have. Not just a little better".

So after some discussion we came up with the .300 WSM since I had a crack with his custom .300 WM last year and loved it... it seems to be the right compromise for range and hitting power.

I shall get ordering a Small shank lug in time and also the required bolt face from PT&G.

Do I need a new barrel nut? I mean, Lets say I get a Varmint barrel from Northlander, will I need a new nut or is it just wise to get one anyhow?
