This has to be a pretty good option IMO. No shagging round, just screw one out and screw the other in. Might even get away with headspace.

For what reasons do you want to change a 6mm to 7mm ? They both run the same shell,
only thing you will achieve is less accuracy and more recoil.
Seems odd to me.

keeping the 243.

bought a 270 as well :thumbsup:

So what was the reason for wanting 7 08'

I'm a little confused hear, the world has considered 6mm to be a more then adequate round for medium game for years.
The result he is wanting is to kill a deer or a thar,

Both pills will dispatch the animal.
How is hitting it harder going to kill it any faster. Dead is Dead.

I thought Thar can be bastards to kill? Idk never hunted them yet.

Im confused that your confused. Down range energy? The 243 is pretty lacking in this dept. Also why do you think a 7mm is less accurate than a 6mm was this based soley on recoil?

I certainly wouldn't want to stand infront of one,
I've said this before ill say it again.
A deer don't care about what bc or how fast or slow a bullet it's been hit with.

accuracy freeks play with 6 ,6.5 then move to the 30s and up.
I've seldome seen a superbly accurate 7mm.

I have a 284 that dissagrees with you on that. Funny you say that cause i have seen very few 7mms that wont shoot. Im not knocking 243s i love them but run the numbers dude there not flash. As for standing infront of it? I wouldnt want to stand in front of a 22 but id hardly take one deer hunting.

I was looking at brownells yesterday funny enough. How do you find bringing in barrels works? like say a M16/Ar15 barrel needed replacing? whats the cheapest way to do it properly?

Nuff said.

shot plenty of thar with my 243. kills fine.

saw plenty die to the 270 too, 7rem mag killed well too.

now iv got a 243 and a 280 for the same reasons you have. hunting rifle for up to redskin and redskin and above.

my 708 barrel would make your 270 a 280 very easily......
meh it can sit there for a nother 2 years for all i care

who would like to buy a winny 243 barrel then? as ive swapped for a 260:thumbsup:
