[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 97908, member: 3733"] Andy, I recently picked up a 243AI with a 3 groove 28" barrel. Your answer is this guys set-up no. My set-up very close. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] With the same 70 gr berger I'm running 3770 fps. With a scope hieght of 1.8 inches and a bc of .283. +1 @ 100 0 @ 230 -.7 @ 280 -1.1 @ 300 -3 @400 Very close to what he claimed but not quite. My disclaimer is other than my listed velocity none of this has been proven at the range, just a quick calc. at JMB I will say my limited range time with this rifle and load has impressed me with it's flattness. I am far from settling on a load yet. My most recent testing has me running a 85 grain Speer SPBT @ 3520 fps. This bullet is suposed to have a bc of .404 according to Speer. But with only limited testing on a less than perfect day, it still needs work. [/QUOTE]
