    Got them going comfortably over 3000fps so they should be good to go.

    Better yet send it to where all other .243's should be...... A steel mill where they can be melted down and made into a useful hunting calibre.

    Poor thing has not even had a single shot down it yet. The last barrel is on the way to the steel mill but. Time to find out if a yank can make a decent barrel or if Im truly cursed.

    Bloody glad of that seeing I purchased some from you..

    If they're accurate, they kill, and you're not shooting extrene range, why not.

    If they are so old in design like mentioned I have no idea why they are so dear. I will try them on a few deer before I decide to purchase anymore.
