Ozzie 244 was the wrong twist for heavy bullets 6mm
Has a better (faster) twist for the heavier bullet. The reason the Remington Co. went to the 6mm to compete better with the 243.
243 is nothing but a necked down 308 so they had the cartridge already.
Even though I think the 6mm is a better cartridge I will keep with the 243. Just because so much brass is avaliable. The ackley improved is a great cartridge but it is not that great in comparing the two. I think the 243 is the way to go or the 6mm. Your choice and what turns you on.
I have a 243 Ruger 77 with a bull barrel and a 22-250 Howa synthetic stock with a weaver 10 power, I am going to sell the 22-250. This year around the middle of Nov it goes on the block. I will probably keep the scope.
