Just picked up this complete package at the LGS for $500. Fairly sure it is a 1:10 twist as it isn't marked other than SUM 243 WSSM.

Haven't had a chance to take it out yet, but this is the only ammo I have as I haven't picked up the dies to reload yet. How does this ammo perform?

All that for $500!!??

SUM stands for broach cut and it would be a 1X10 twist.

Yep $400 plus tax for the complete rifle, three mags and two full boxes of ammo. I found another three boxes of ammo for $25 clearance at Walmart. Not sure what the LGS was thinking on the rifle. I guess they just didn't want to mess with the 243 wssm upper and convert it and didn't know much about the caliber.

Hell I think the mags go for around a $105 a piece

WOW didn't realize that....I ended up trading it for a RRA 6.8 with a 20" bull barrel.

I was looking at the pics and those mags look a lot different then mine. I will post a pic of mine when I get a chance to get time to take one. So you sold it.....did you ever get to shoot it.

I actually traded it. I shot 20 rounds thru it and while it was hard deciding to part with, I just felt I was doing the right thing. I traded for a RRA coyote carbine that had been converted to a rifle length gas system and a 20" target crown ARP barrel. He also included the reloading components.Image
