[QUOTE="Stumpm2, post: 592881, member: 5184"] I shoot a 243 Ackley Improved and love it. It has a 1 in 8" twist Lilja 3-groove barrel and I shoot the 105 Berger VLD's at 3,200 fps. I went round after round on what 6mm to build before I decided on the 243 AI. Here is what I came up with: Same performance or slightly better than the 6mm Rem, case is a little shorter than the 6mm and allows me to use the magazine with the Bergers, better overall brass and selection of brass, not an exotic round and I can always shoot regular 243 ammo in a pinch if I was on a trip. The only downside is fire forming rounds, but I have a good varmint load with the 105 Amaxes that is just as accurate. After fire forming my cases, they have not stretched at all after 6 reloadings. The 105 grain Berger has put a smack down on every antelope, whitetail, and mule deer I have shot, complete devastation. Absolute blast to shoot. [/QUOTE]
