Brian, you are absolutely right. It is much easier to go with the .243AI. The rational thing would be to go with the .243AI.But like you said above:

I look at it as my version of a Vanity plate that some put on their cars. Since I'm having a custom rifle, why not go all the way custom. I'm even buying a reamer and go=gauge so that in the future I can re-barrel to the same exact specs.
You also have to recall that I got confused between the 6mm AI and the .243AI back there for a while. That's when I ordered the reamer. I can still cancel it, but I'm really OK with it. I already have the die, ironically Redding doesn't call it 6 CM at all.
In all fairness names and labels do make a difference in the real world. A classic business case is the Chevy Nova, it was a success in the US but a flop in Latin America because "No Va" means "It doesn't go" in Spanish. Redding would probably sell more if it relabeled their box.
