Dont you start :lol:
I have ummed and ahhed over that chambering a number of times, on a number of occasions to "improve" my
243's.
Both Kickenback and Old55 have been in my ear over the past couple of years :lol: :lol: :lol:
You’re still pissed I beat you to the dies and reamer aren’t you.

Since it is a single shot, target calibers are the obvious choice. One easy option is turn it into a 308 F/tr gun. Otherwise, the 6BRA others mentioned. If you wanted something bigger, then a 284 would be a great all rounder.
