Yes it would, although it is a barrel killer. But for those 1000-1500 shots it will be fine. You'll also will get some good advise on the "factory/hybrid" forum on this site.
Use the search function at the top of the page to pull up info on the .243AI, than do as virg suggests and get the ball rolling over on Factory/Hybrid to find your answers. Some of us have spent some time with this round. It is absolutely NOT a short-range BR round.
