[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 111797, member: 313"] Oddly enough, accuracy seems to have dropped off over the winter when the rifle sat in the caninet. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] It is not up to shooting as well with the A-Max so I tried the 80gr SMK again. Accuracy wasn't bad but not up to my expectations either. I just sent the rifle out to have the barrel set-back and rechambered. My smith does not have a reamer for the AI version and fireforming can be a waste of good throat life. Soooo...... I am having 2" of barrel removed and then rechambered in 22-243 (plain). I was very tempted to go the 6mmBR route but I have some rather expensive 22-243AI dies (Redding & Wilson custom) and new Lapua brass on hand. I also have plenty of 75gr-80gr bullets in inventory. The 6mmBR may have to wait for now. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
