[QUOTE="liltank, post: 377606, member: 13275"] Yes, it warrants a reply. I just don't own one, therefore can not give you an educated answer. However, I know there are some guys that use them on this sight. So hopefully they will chime in soon. Another LRH forum to post is the Varmint forum. Don't know if you have looked into it yet, but the 6mmbr.com has some very good info on the 243AI and some load data. That is about the best I can do for you. I know the heavier you go in bullet the slower you want to go in powder.
