[QUOTE="Greg Duerr, post: 790623, member: 32685"] Well being new to this level of shooting has been a huge learing experiance............Up to now my long shots have been around 200yards, so accuracey was something I did not pay much attention to. I did buy from the help from guys on this sight, a Leica 1200 RF.................Wow, was that a learning experiance, Had no Idea just how far 400 yards was , let alone the distances you guys shoot at.................unbelievable. Things might be different with my new Rifle if I had the right powders avaiable. All I now right now is that I can not seat a 95gr Berger out far enough to touch the lands...............Had no idea that was a problem. The other thing is that I have not been able to get any resonable accuracy out of it. .597 with RL19 but at 48.5 gr was in the high pressure............Moon cratered firing pin holes and the shinny spot from the extractor. Using H100V nothing under .8 from start to high pressure...............I did read that H1000 is a great powder for the .243 should work good in the .243AI. I do have some 105 A-Max I bought that will work with the 1x9 I would like to see something that would tell me im heading in the right direction. I emailed Darrel Holland and you told me to call John Lewis from CPR who built my rifle and ask for the reamer print................that would tell me what the throut length was...........Ive learned a lot, so far probable would have done it different .........at this point I would be happy with any groups at .5 Greg [/QUOTE]
