[QUOTE="Cruizin, post: 142192, member: 7095"] I went with a 243 AI and it is a good flat shooter at close range (500 yrds). It's my coyote gun. I was launching 70 grn bullets at 3820 fps with H414 a couple of weeks ago. Could of went faster but that was a more accurate load. Going to work on another load that is not so sensitive to temperature changes. Probably have to jump up to 87 grn or more to get out to a 1000 more consistently, but those 70 grain bullets shoot pretty good. The 87's shoot better though from what I have heard. Isn't the 243 based off the 308 brass? I just did a rechamber/modify of a factory rem barrel to the improved version. Its easy to reload for. Don't know if I will stay with the same chambering though when I rebarrel it. I bought it for a coyote/mule deer/long distance gun, but it blows big holes in coyotes unless you don't hit bone. Scared to take it on a mule deer hunt though but I am a bow hunter and used to hitting an elk with 65 fp of kinetic energy I believe it is. Bullets are different than razor blades though. The furthest I have shot is 600 yrds with it. [/QUOTE]
