Boy, this string sure went along quickly. I don't own a 243 Win so I am not going to state from personal experience. Having said that there is a good article provided by this link. I think the important thing to take away is that regardless of which chamber you are going to buy, any high performance cartridge will/can cause premature barrel wear. My own experience is with military weapons and I can tell you that it is not hard to ruin a barrel by putting lots of rounds thru it too fast. In other words, not allowing the barrel some time to cool. I suspect that you are going to use this rifle for hunting and occasionally take it out to shoot at a range. In this instance I don't believe you will have any issues with barrel life (provided you don't start reloading yourself with hot loads).
I am with the crowd on the 270, great performer all around (I have a 30-06 and I would happily go with a 270).

LOL. You mean missing the barrel change on the C6 after each belt? I've seen one that didn't get changed after about 3, wow...Quote:

My old FNC1 on the RCR rifle team seen about 300rds a day during the summer, and while on C2 team in the evening we would run about 2 cases for two gun teams. MY C3 sniper rifle got about 300 rds per week while on the team as well. 1st Batallion RCR 1980 - 1986 then remustered to Line 052 Trade (hence Line052 name)
Lots of us on here.
I wont make any references to Chickens....I was up at the farm too.
HAHAHAHA, back in the day, Steve Duhamal, Grant Gervais, Brian Mott, Sam Lavoie, Pat Noseworthy, Randy Watts, MCpl Seaworth, Paul Downs and Kieth Cunnigham. Some of those guys are here in Ottawa.
I tested the C6 on Sea King. The weapons techs would complain if I brought them back a barrel that had been cooked. I quickly learned it was much easier to 'drop it accidently' into the ocean. This made the paper work for them much easier. We looked at a 50 BMG on a recoilless mount but it was too costly. I sure love 50 BMG...what a great cartridge. John Browning left this masterpiece as a legacy. Only trouble is that I can't justify buying one.
