[QUOTE="Greg Duerr, post: 818027, member: 32685"] I just want to thank you guys for the feed back I received. It a lot of food for thought. Makes me take a longer look back at my .243 Ackley. No perfect cartridge out there. I dont do competition but Im strickly a varmint hunter and Deer, Antelope, Black Bear, and Elk Hunter. I realize that the .243 AI is lite for the Elk but this year will be hunting for a Cow Elk and next year well, what ever happens to come along. The Smith who put together my rifle used a really old reamer, as he told me, and thus ended up with a throut that was to long to seat the 95gr into the rifleing and from what I was told has a throut that is to wide to shoot boat tail bullets. Not sure if that problem can be fixed without shortening the barrel. Thus, my looking at getting it re-barreled. My first choice was the 6mm Remington but was told that I needed a long action to accomodate the longer VLD Berger Bullets, or else seat them farther in the case ................all this is new to me so I seem to be running in different directions. This sight is very helpful for a beginner to get a better feel of right and wrong and at least have a better direction to walk towards. Right now I just feel handicapped knowing that my rifle will only shoot flat base bullets, well. Greg [/QUOTE]
