[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2403470, member: 9299"] The 243AI is a great round and game performance is very similar to the 6mmRem. Use a faster twist, 1/9 or 1/8, and it will serve well using the heavy for caliber bullets for those longer shots. The change in shoulder angle can, in some cases, nearly double the throat life vs standard 243, reduces to near eliminates routine trimming, and in my experience, give slightly better accuracy. Fireforming is no real issue, and after the COW method or and appropriate pistol powder charge under a varmint bullet, the reduced to eliminated need for future case prep will save much time and effort. There are several great loads for the 243AI, and a couple have already been mentioned. I have had good hunting success with the 105AMAX and 105Berger, and I have a lot of the newer 103/108ELD's. However due to a remaining large quantity of the 105AMAX, I have not shot any medium game with those yet. Quite a few guys have used the 243AI on the 1,000yd BR line, and it has been a very good performer. [/QUOTE]
