Two years ago I bought a .243 Win for deer hunting. I have a .30-06 but don't enjoy the recoil and heavy weight of the rifle. I could have bought my .243 in 7-08 but didn't and sort of regret it. Anyways, I moved back north and have thought about reboring it to .260 or 6.5 CM to push heavier bullets. It has a very lightweight barrel that is only .509 at the muzzle and .264 is the largest I could get it bored to. Could go to .308 if the 'smith is ok with only .200 of barrel wall. If I load my .243 with TSX, TTSX, E-Tip or GMX am I wasting my time with a rebore?
