Hell, I might just do real wild and do a 257 Souper improved :D

Problem is my little 243 still shoots great and with three small kids and a busy work life it may take me years to burn out that barrel that everybody told me I would fry shooting these little atom bombs out of my 243!
I have owned two 25 souper Rifles in my time, still own one, a friend of mine, has improved one as well,.. He states that if he had his time again, he wouldnt improve it, due to pressure problems, stretching brass ect. the Souper is an awesomely accurate cartridge, !00 grainers at 3050 f.p.s grouping at less than half M.O.A is esily achieveable,..My rifle, a rebarreled Weatherby .243,..and a Timney Trigger fitted,..which has a 1Lb 4oz trigger pull,..A.D.I 2209 powder, and sierra gameking projectiles,...Love it to bits,..
