[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 36882, member: 313"] Mine is the Ackley version with a 40deg shoulder. Probably James in Tenn was right. The 22-243 (plain) can do almost anything the Middlestead or AI can do, and can do it with a lot less trouble. No case forming and dies are easier to get. I do get great accuracy and good brass life with my 22-243AI but the fireforming can be a down side, particularely with a cartridge that will consume throats pretty easily. I have an 8" twist but only shoot the 75gr A-Max (moly) bullet. The 9" would have worked well for that bullet and may have been a bit faster too. This cartridge is a nightmare for Pa groundhogs.
