So I have a 22-243 Vanilla and the thing is just awesome. Shoots tiny groups, holy beejeesus I should show you what a 64gr Rexem F-Bomb does to a varmint at that speed... just mental.
HOWEVER- I have found it quite difficult to "Tune." Specially compared to my 22 Creed, that thing was a piece of cake to tune to tiny groups.
So I wanted to go a middlestead or AI, I'm convinced from recent experience that sharper shoulders = easier tuning with bullets and powders. I would have to buy a reamer and dies, and stick with it. My heart says Middlestead, but my brain says AI. Running a stiff load of 2209 and a 73gr F-bomb would literally kill anything in Aus I reckon.
Thoughts?
Thanks. RJ
