I have it zeroed to 100 yards. I thought the price for the work was very reasonable.

I noticed he does 9.3x62mm too, so I've got a inquiry into him on converting a 243 Bull Barrel. Thanks for the info.

9.3x62 works fine in a 243, I had Jesse do a 20" 243 Superlight, 3-groove, 1:12" twist, one week turn around, $225 total.  8)

I was just reading your post Tim. I spoke to Jesse on the phone and he mentioned you had done it. With the 1:12 how does it fare with 300+ grain bullets? I'm debating 1:12 or 1:14.

I haven't shot the 325gr Normas yet, just the 270gr Speer.

You guys down there are SOOOOO lucky to have a guy like JES Reboring.

being able to decide what groove/bore diameter, as well as Land/Groove parameters.

Wow!

we have IIRC only one guy who will rebore up here, and his turnaround time is measured in months.

and you better have an extra child to sell for medical experiments.

I had just about decided that the 9.3x62 was my last resort for that extra 280 barrel I have laying around.   :-\   Then I saw the new Jameson (Captech International) lists 375 Flanged Mag brass...  :P
